Hmmm.

Sister Minnie Nelson married a wacked-out brother named Robert Lillie, so of course she became Minnie Lillie.

We had an elderly brother named Cedric Hitt.

That was about it, actually :)

We had a Danny and Donna Cronk. It was always getting mixed up. Danna and Donny. Cronk was bad enough.

At one time we had three "E" names that were always getting mixed up:
Egner, Eckerson, and Eggleston. That was funny too.

I had a friend when I was little, whose last name was Tchernega (prounounced Cher-nay-ga) No one ever got it right, and she looked forward to marrying someone who had a "normal" name. So she married a man named "Crumpacker". That name frustrated her too, because they always called them "Crackerpacker", trying to remember that name.

I went to school with a family named "Pickle". The boy my age, was named Dick. Poor kid, he was relentlessly teased and grew up to be a policeman. And I had a P.E. teacher named Rosey Bottoms. (actually she wanted to be called Rosemary, but we couldn't resist the Rosey)

In my ex-wifes congregation, there was the Leer family. The daughter was named Crystal Chanda Leer...poor child.
In my last congregation, there was a sister Brooks who changed back to her maiden name after getting divorced. Her maiden name was Brothers. Once in a while, when called upon for comment, the brother would say "Brooks", then quickly correct himself and say "Brothers" w/o missing a beat, so you'd hear "Brooks Brothers". LOL

We had a family with the last name "Cox." Naive little JW me, at age 12 or so, I didn't know that phonetically, it was a euphemism. I used to refer to the family in the plural as the "Coxes." Needless to say, I got lots of laughs whenever relating a story in which they were the subject, whether it was intended to be humorous or not. ;)

I don't have to go very far to join this group.

My last name is Howell. When I was a kid, we lived down hill from a family named Pool. Naturally, they were the Pools and all their little Puddles, and we were the Howells and all their little Yelps.

My grandparents were kind of generous when naming some of their kids, too. They got named whole sentences. One came out Lawrence Will Howell, and another Doris May Howell. Thank heavens we were never sensitive about such things. We thought it was funny too.

We had Brother and Sister Love, who bickered all the time! So did their "Love" children.

I had a crush on a young brother named "Neptune" Gaither. One of the elders who I really didn't care for was named "Crump". When we were younger we called him "Crump the chump"!

Their was a family named "Posie". One of the daughter's was named Rosie. Not Rose...Rosie.

That's all I can think of right now...but give me time!
