Okay...one more for you. Took riding lessons with a girl named Wenbe (rhymes with Wendy). We asked her how she was named as it was a different name and she said it was the combination of her mother's and father's names which were Wendell and Betty.

Someone cracked that she was lucky her name wasn't Bedell. Turns out that's what they named her brother!

True story.

I know someone named Bernard who named his son Benard (sic.) The sister was named Christinea (sic.) And this was the state of black names 65 years ago. It's only gone downhill since.
