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".

Sir Lord Baltimora (Myonga Vön Bontee), Thursday, 25 July 2013 06:43 (twelve years ago)

what is it with that generation and random mystery names

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)

Autumn Almanac, Thursday, 25 July 2013 06:57 (twelve years ago)

Two more (real names) from that same generation, great-aunts this time: Pearl and Ruby (twins!)

Sir Lord Baltimora (Myonga Vön Bontee), Thursday, 25 July 2013 07:40 (twelve years ago)

Ruby's currently the UK's 19th most popular baby name. Bit surprised Pearl is outside the top 200 tbh - all these granny names are making a massive comeback.
