Re: Names from "Alaskan Bush People"
in reply to a message by Felie
That looks absolutely insane. But Raindrop is kind of a ridiculous name that I kind of like. I mean, I'd use it a cat or something, but still.Otherwise, nothing is really my kind of thing. I do love Rainy on its own.
I have a friend named Snow and I think that's kind of cool, but Snowbird is more than I care for.My cousins (who I unfortunately don't live near and am not close to) have somewhere between 15-17 children. And they're not a part of any religious movement or anything. The parents just wanted a bit family and that's what they've got. I've not sure about biological and adopted and things like that. I just love getting their Christmas card every year. It's especially fun now that some of the children are older and have their own families now, but they still just cram everyone into the photo on front and all of their names onto the bottom.
I'll have to make a post about it if we get one from them this year (so far no which is odd??).And my grandmother was one of nine and my grandfather was one of eleven.
My grandmother's siblings (that I know) all had pretty horrible names:
Raymond
Marvin
Shirley (I think?? It may have been Cheryl.)
Louise
Flossie Mae
Willie Ruth
Brenda (This one is my grandma.)
Jimmie Sue My friend Lisa is one of seventeen. (She's the baby and she lets everyone know it, but sadly I don't know any of her sibling's names even though she did write them all down for me like five or six years ago. Middle names and all!)Otherwise, I went to school with a really eccentric family that traveled in an old limo and had eight children all of which shared the first names Sir or Princess. It was... different. Most of them are grown now and have either gotten their names changed or at least tried to distance themselves from their parents/roots.
The ones I remember:
Princess Rebecca (who now goes by Rex if I remember correctly)
Princess Rosemary (may have been Rosemarie)
Princess Katherine (not sure of the spelling)
Sir William
Sir Andrew
Sir DanielI'm sure there's more. I live in South Carolina and while it's not anywhere near as common as it once was, some families still have farms and big farm families (though now it is more common for them to stop at four or five).
