So that was the dad's excuse...where was the mom when this horror of a name was decided on?

She was there but she seemed to be under the impression that middle names don't matter much. I really don't know why she consented other than that.
Is it possible she could have been drugged up, too? I know women of a certain time were pretty much knocked out while giving birth, whether they wanted to be or not.
I doubt it. She wasn't in a hospital. It was the rural South in the 1930's.
