[or-roots] Unusual names

[CARROLLOUC at aol.com]

Hi Barbara
 
I too knew a male Carol in So. Oregon. His wife was  named Jackie. There 
waa also another female Carroll that I knew but it is  unusual. That spelling 
is a last name and very popular in the South as I think  there was a Gen. 
Carroll in the CW, a Confederate. I think my great  grandmother had something 
to do with the spelling as she was b in VA in 1852 and  her father fought 
for the South. Mom would never acknowledge that might be where  she got the 
spelling as that was from my Dad's side of the family. She just said  she saw 
it on a florist's sign in Portland, OR and thought it was pretty. I  guess 
it was better than the April she was planning on naming  me.
 
Carroll Cooper Summers 
 
 
Carroll, 
I know of a Carol (male).  I will bet that he had a lot of trouble  with 
his name, too.

Subject: Re: [or-roots] Hogg  sisters

The first time I remember heaing about the Hogg  sisters was as a joke on a 
1930's radio show as a joke. Unfortunately,  I my 80 year old brain doesn't 
recall just what the show was. I do,  however, remember what fun all of the 
neighbor kids had with the  names.
 
Carroll Cooper Summers (Carroll is an unusual  spelling for a frmale and 
has given me many headaches over my  lifetime)
