Pilgrim said:Texas and the south in general tend toward odd names.
At Texas A&M, I worked for an Extension Director (very nice gent) named Zerle Carpenter. One of the Program Directors was Uel Stockard.
A native Texas gent I worked with told me that when he was in grade school in the late 40's, there was a girl in his school whose parents gave her the appalling first and middle names "Doll Baby".
A teacher won her undying gratitude with calling the role on the first day of school. When she hit that name, she said "I'll just call you Dolly".
The girl instantly siezed on that, and was called Dolly for the rest of her life.
Ha, for a minute there I thought the guy's name was Extension Director. lol
