[or-roots] Darned Census

[Leslie Chapman]

My Leland ancestors were probably the strangest about names, but no Strangeman, the did have some odd ones though;

Deliverance           not too unusual
Experience            as a guy so  so, for a woman today seems it might be taken wrong?
Hopestill                 That one is around for at least a hundred years
Prudence                not so strange, but I sure wouldn't saddle a kid with it
Silencewishful thinking?
Thankful                   I guess that might make introducing yourself confusing;

"Pleased to meet you what was your name again?" 
"Thankful" 
"Well I appreciate it too, but what IS your name?"

I am pretty sure with a little imagination someone could write a "Who's on first?" type of sketch with that list of names.
