my boyfriend's boss' fiance is a public defender who was defending a woman whose name appeared on the legal documents as "LA-AH"
and as the story goes, he asked her how the name is pronounced, is it "LAY-uh" or "luh-AH" etc
to which she replied "It's pronounced LADASHAH"

Curious given-names among my second-generation ancestors, not necessarily great but kinda intriguing: My grandfather Ellar Brown and his brother Mac were jointly named for their mother, Mary MacEllar. Yet Ellar was born first - how'd he get the SECOND half of the name??
Also of minor note: In a double union, Ellar and Mac married a pair of sisters, Bernice and Dorothea Haley, both of whom hated their names and refused to be called anything but "Bunny" and "Toots" respectively. And their younger brother Harold similarly wouldn't answer to anything but "Pete".

― Autumn Almanac, Thursday, 25 July 2013 06:55 (twelve years ago)
we have buckets of ancestors from that era who were known as something other than their actual names (some of which only became clear at their funerals)
