Oh so lovely to hear that Belstead House is still going, we stopped going
when Geraldine retired from teaching , perhaps I should get up a group of
likeminded lacemakers and go there for a few days for a  treat.

One of my husband's best friends from childhood was named James Dick 
(Dick was his last name).  His father was Dr. Dick (and he was a 
proctologist).  James met a woman who refused to even go out with him at 
first, but finally agreed, and they ended up getting married.  Her name 
was Anita.  She retained her own last name.


One of my mother's childhood friends was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
Bugg.  They named her Ima June.


One of my own childhood friends was named Ethel Bethel.  She was 
grateful when she was married and no longer had to have the rhyming 
name.  She even dropped the Ethel and goes by Beth.

My brother-in-laws family name is Gasser(German heritage and probably
originally pronounced GAWsser).  We joked every time my sister had a baby
that she needs to call her daughter Ima Big Gasser.  Love the Ima June
Bugg name!!

Some years ago I belonged to a group with a member named Barry.   She married a 
guy Mr. Berry so she was Barry Berry.  I couldn't believe it at first, but 
it was legally her name.

One of my best friends in school had the name D.  Just one letter.  Her 
parents couldn't agree on a name, and both choices started with D, so she 
became just D.  It was also interesting that she and both parents all had the 
same birthday in early January.  They had Christmas, then replaced all the 
Christmas gifts with birthday gifts under the tree.  After the birthday 
celebration, they took the tree down and were done with birthdays for the year. 
 Come to think of it, my friend was also the New Year's baby the year she was 
born.

Alice in Oregon  -- where my lace exhibit is hung and the grand opening is 
tomorrow.  (I share the exhibit with a couple of painters.)  The gallery wanted 
to have some pieces to sell so I put high prices on several pieces.  I'm NOT 
expecting or planning to sell anything. G

My grandmother said she grew up with a boy whose given names were 
Regus Patoff (don't know the surname).  When asked where the name 
came from, the mother said she had seen it on a medicine bottle and 
liked the sound of it(from Reg.U.S. Pat.Off. = registered in the US 
Patent Office).

used to say it was a shame her parents hadn't named her Marcia(-:

When I was growing up, there was a local family, named Locks, that 
named
their daughter Goldie, with no middle name.  To add insult to injury, 
she
was even blonde.  She ran off and married when she was 15.  The 
marriage

didn't last, but she kept the new name.

I've got one to match that!  Came across a female Porphyria.  Nothing 
like being named after a rare and potentially fatal blood disorder!
