Gaolee Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 There are a few in my family. Gozeal was my grandmother's given name. No ethnicity involved unless you want to count western North Carolina hills as an ethnicity. Yes, Carolina barbecue is the one true way to barbecue. Just saying. You don't have to be born into it to figure it out, but it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrosurfer1959 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 100% serious here - I actually had a teacher in High School that was named Harry Ballse. he was always trying to pronounce is Balzay but for pretty much every kid in the school and 90% of the teacher he was just Harry Balls. I always wondered what his parents were thinking. I also used to have a Guy working for me who's name was Adam A Adams. After almost two years I had to ask what the A. in his middle initial stood for and yep it was Adam??? So his parents named him Adam Adam Adams? Guess his parents had no originality or maybe one of them stuttered and it stuck when hey tried to fill out the birth certificate. Probably really sucked growing up but he was probably always first in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundergod Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Down here there's a small town where everyone has names like pepsi cola, disneyland and heineken beer. Whenever you meet someone who's got a weird name you ask them if they are from there and they always are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
