Two of my aunt's on my father's side were Anna and Angeline. A bit confusing when young.
My maternal grandfather was John. His son was John. I was named after him. My paternal grandfather was John. His firstborn was John. When we were at my father's funeral 3 years ago, I met my Uncle John B***** for the first time. And my first cousin John B*****. And my first cousin once-removed, John B*****.
My Aunt Anna (or Angeline, as I mentioned above, could never keep them straight) had two sets of twins: Peter and Paul (almond joy's got nuts, mounds don't: sorry :-), and Mary-Anne and Anne-Marie.
Some parents just don't realize what they do to their kids. (as an aside, I mentioned in a post a while back the name of a kid i n school years ago: Terry Terryberry. Sigh) |
