Colorful Town?

General Name Discussion
1

I was reading an online list of internments in a particular American cemetery, and was astounded at the high concentration of creative names buried there. I thought I’d share the list. In light of the hundred-year rule, I thought maybe some of these would appeal to you…or amuse you. :wink:

I omitted the last names, so any double names that you see are first name/middle name combos:

Harlen
Obeath
Stokes
Tempie D.
Waitsel
Laughton D.
Para B.
Vinnie Mae
Byard Henry
Destie M.
Devault
Rosany
Mose
Cling
Creed H.
Delzie
Demadie I.
Dontie H.
Galen
Jeter W.
Perion
Perrin
Riller
Satter B.
Nina Clarice (just thought the combo was sweet)
Doxie
Roby Ninevah
Carmalee
Doshie D.

Some nice names on here! Here’s what I like and could see myself using as a first name or middle name:

Byard (middle)
[name]Creed[/name] (middle)
[name]Galen[/name] (middle and I know someone with this name)
[name]Perrin[/name] (but probably as a nn for [name]Peregrine[/name])
[name]Nina[/name] [name]Clarice[/name] – I think it’s cute too
Corletta
[name]Snow[/name] – [name]LOVE[/name]
[name]Vester[/name] – middle

Hmmm…I kind of like the [name]Ellenore[/name] spelling. It makes [name]Elle[/name] such an easy nn.
