ArchivesUnusual name
Greetings,
My Dad was born in Big Clifty Kentucky in 1910. His name was Aud Earl Whayne and had a female twin named Audra Earlene Whayne. I became Aud Earl Whayne Jr. in 1947 in Memphis Tennessee. I have searched for the meaning and origin of the name Aud and the only thing that comes up is a feminine Norwegian name. I've searched for fraternal twin names and haven't found this combination. Perhaps it is a misspelling of something else? Neither my Dad nor I used the name. We always used Earl. I didn't know Aud was my first name until I was about 10 or 12. I saw it on some official document and was confused.
