He was born before that cute little red-haired Republican girl.......
Richard Weiner (Friends call him Dick.)
Zebulon Vance was the governor of North Carolina when the Yankees destroyed our nation and installed the present, thankfully declining regime.
Oh, did I mention that's a "Bible" name, and pretty common here in the South?
I went to high school with an Aarley - an alternate spelling of Arleigh. His last name was Odle.
How bout the NBA player named Anferny
Shirley, Ashley; how about Courtney?

Named my sons Lee and Ross because we have a long last name. They go by their first name, no nicknames, and these names will always sound dignified - unlike my first name: Randy.
Just know Ima was the never married daughter of Gov. Hogg. Her estate has left some gardens and house somewhere around here. Houston?
Hail Fredonia!
Land of the brave and the free!
Propecia, Sinutab, please let that be a joke.
When she lived in Valdez, her name was LaZonia, and her sister's name was Raquelle. Both white.
I worked with an older White gentleman in Florida and for three years I called him Glen because that's what everyone else called him. One day he started telling a story about his childhood and turns out Glen is his nick name, his real name was Harvey. We all got a chuckle out of the fact that we never heard "Glen" as a nickname. Then he said, "if you think that's funny my older brother never uses his real name". We asked and he replied that his brother's name is Cletus. Of course we fell out laughing. Just goes to show you odd names come in all colors.
I have a friend who had business dealings with a black woman named Placenta. The story behind this was thather mother was not well educated. During childbirth, she heard the doctor say 'Here comes the Placenta' and she either thought that was a name, or sounded like a good name. And so her daughter was forever cursed. The sad thing about it that while her name was often a source of embarrassment to her, she refused to change it because she didn't want to shame her mother.
Good! I'm delighted to be HALF wrong, in any case.
Well, it ain't!
If I remember correctly, I read that con doleeza is an Italian musical term meaning to "play with sweetness."
Apparently in this case, the name doesn't show a lack of class but perhaps too much.
