Strangest family names?

[honeywolf7]

Okay, well on my father's side my heritage is Hungarian and Romanian. My grandmother's name was Zola and my aunt's name is Ilona.

 

[Gary M]

Had a grandmother named Zula.

I have an Aunt Pinkie. When she was born (#12 of 13) my Uncle John said she was so tiny and pink that my great grandmother named her Pinkie. Pinkie turn out to be one red hot firecracker!

My MIL's name is Carneal and her sister is Juanseal. No middle names....what could you put with those first names!!!!

DH has lots of good Puritan names in his famly tree, like Constant and True, but the absolute worst is Hickling. His parents almost named him Hickling after that ancestor. I told him it was a good thing they didn't, because I just don't think I could have kept a straight face when calling him by name.

My grandparents on my mothers side are Raider and Iris. On my dad's side they are Francis and Luella.

Leander, Flossie, Moses, Sherman (every one says it's strange for a southerner to be named Sherman, It was my Grandfathers name and is DS's middle name)
I know there are others but these are the ones I can remember off the top of my head.

My fathers mom was named Leoda. My mom almost named me after her.

From what I'm told she was a wonderful woman but that still wouldn't have justified having to grow up with that name.

My boss' husband (and son's) names are Forwood Cloud

Sounds like my family. My grandmother is Myrtle Irene. I sent her a pm to see if we are related.
