I have a great-great-grandmother named
Woody Isabelle.
Woody is not a nickname. She was the youngest of 15 kids, and her mom was running out of names, so a neighbor named
Woody Isabelle who made quilts said that she would make the family a quilt if they named their baby girl after her. So, my great-great-grandma got saddled with the named
Woody Isabelle and her mom never got the quilt. *sigh*
I have also mentioned my great-great-grandpa named
Alpha Omega. I think he was
Woody's husband, though I may be wrong. Not sure where his parents came up with the name.
I also have a great-grandma named
Philomena Monica. As I was named after two of my great-grandmas, I'm glad my parents didn't pick this one, although
Monica is okay.
My cousins just got a new cousin named Kahtrin. Pronounced KAH-trin, short i. WDYT?
