i knew a kid in high school whose real name was wilbur putney williams. he was the third, so he went by trey, and i haven't kept up with him, so i have no idea if he has kids. but he always swore he was going to name his kid wilbur putney, and the kid wouldn't be the third, so he would HAVE to go by wilbur or putney. at first i said "but he can go by will." to which he responded "will williams? nope. he's got to be wilbur."
so mean.
In response to grandparents names, I'm safe with all but my maternal grandmother- undine chleo. Not even Chloe, but chleo. Everyone calls here deen or deenie. Her sister is Edouarda. Yay Germans!
My grandmothers were Helen Rose and Jean. I just had to google Grandma Jean's obit to see if she ever had a middle name that wasn't her maiden name, and it doesn't look like it, but her parents were Archibald and Florence. Old names are great.
Lol why didn't I think of Cleo? I could not figure that out for some reason.
I think old names are cute too, but maybe not always for the kid.
Yeah, it's pronounced Cleo (kleo). For a girl I love the name Eleanor. It's older, but Ella for short and it sounds good with Jane as a middle name.
