Reply to: what does this name it is my grandmother's and grandfather's by evie and booker
Phyllis is right about "Evie". "Booker" was originally an English occupational surname for a person who worked with books of some kind -- generally a scribe or a binder.

I believe one is likely to find a "Bookie" or two, as well, down at the racetrack.
