HelpMy dad's cousin named his daughters...
Alice Avenue
&
Pamela Gee (as in, "Gee wiz")*
My dad, who was born in 1942, also knew a girl in his neighbourhood growing up named Evelyn Wiper Stark.
Apparently it was a bit of a trend to give baby girls "unique" things as middle names?
My dad also had another cousin named Jack Askew. He routinely signed his name 'Jackass Q'.
*Interestingly, since "gee" is an abbreviation of Jesus, the name Gee ultimately is derived from the same source (see Joshua, etc). Still, I don't like it as a name. It might still beat Avenue, though, and definitely beats Wiper.

I don't know if all of this is real or not, as I tend to be skeptical, but I have a cousin with the middle name Jee. Its Korean. Perhaps Gee is a play on that? Maybe not.

My dad's cousin (Timothy) said he named her after his brother Richard. When they were boys, adults would often call Richard "Timothy" by mistake, and he (Richard) would say, "I'm Richard! Gee!"
Also, my Dad insists these are their actual legal names. I actually met Alice and Pamela once, but I wasn't yet two and don't remember any of it.
