Re: a name in the obituary this morning
There's a woman who is a regular at the store where I work, and she's named Fleecie, spelled the same way. She's elderly and very sweet. There's also a woman named Cookie, but in that case it's a nickname. I asked her once how she came to be called that, and she said it's just what everyone called her since she was a little girl.Incidentally, I used to have a neighbor called Woolly, after his remarkable ginger beard.Sidenote: I just checked my local obituaries to make sure we weren't speaking of the same Fleecie, and came across a Judene and a Bradys Onita. Interesting names!

I know two Cookies! One I know for sure her real name is Patricia, and the other one was a baby born to somebody in my class when I was in high school. I *think* that baby's name was something like Ashanti, or Ashantay, or something similar sounding, but can't be sure,

There's at least one woman named Cookie in my area who sells real estate. Go figure.
