Nomenclature nonsense

Legg inn av Ford Mommaerts-Browne » 29 sep 2005 06:50:01

In tracing the ancestry of a former room-mate, we came across a couple of
books listing his great grandmother as 'Eva Ora'. She lived long enough for
Dennis to have chatted with her. Her name was actually 'Ena Ova'.

"My own dear grandmother, Oa, dearly loved her two lettergiven name.
She told the story that when her parents first saw her, they said, "Oh,
a beauty." from whence came the name, Oa."

Great name, Ginny! Reminds me of the Ozark couple 100 years or so ago
who named (with unintended irony) their daughter Ova!
