[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 45150, member: 439"] well, lessee - I'm from all German stock, so one grandmother was Julianna Gertrude and the other was Wilhemina Minerva. Julianna's siblings wer Ferdinan, Marie, Louisa and Johann, Wilhemina' were Rosa and Bertha (always called Doda). Another family member was Luella - named after her parents Louis and Ellena. Her siblings were Louis (my grandfather), Milton, Edwin, and Howard. husband's dad's birth certificate says "James" but he's always been called "Bill". No one knows why. I know a lot of people from the hills of Eastern KY, and some of the names are Ellazene, Arbeulah, Julius, Kelly (for a man), D Wayne (yes, no apostrophy) and a lot of female sounding names as middle names for men (Lynne) and male sounding names as middle names for women (Rae).
