[QUOTE="Suz, post: 44011, member: 29"] There's a funny thread going on in PE and it made me think of funny family names that are handed down from generation to generation. My father's *real* name was...........Horace. In Dad's high school yearbook his friends' inscriptions all started with "Horry"---can you imagine??? [img]:rofl:[/img] Needless to say, when Dad joined the Marines [img]:salute:[/img] he went by "Bus" or "Buster"----a common male nickname in those days. But I digress. So Dad's name was Horace. And his father's name was............Horace. And <u>his</u> father's name was............Horace. Yes, my friends, that proud name went back <span style='font-size: 20pt'>7</span> generations in my family...and one family even named [i][b]TWO[/b][/i] sons Horace! [img]:hammer:[/img] When my brother was born....my father named him.... ...(drumroll please)... .............................Michael. [img]:whew:[/img] We also have a "Willadot" in our family back a couple of generations. Willadot was the daughter of William and Dorothy, of course you know! [img]:slap:[/img] So tell me about the funny names in your family. Did any of our beloved board members get saddled with the funny family name him/herself? Suz [/QUOTE]
