My great-grandfather's name (and my dad's middle name) is Prosper. I think it's not entirely unusual French name.
My dad's maternal grandfather was named Prime. (The bastardization of an Italian saint name by Irish Newfoundlanders apparently.)
And my aunt was married to an Expedite. (I just don't know.)
One of my great grandfather's name was Catherinus, but googling tells me it's both a first and surname. OK.
I don't know of any weird names in my family! Some unusual, but nothing too weird. And I imagine Rolande wasn't as unusual in Quebec at the turn of the century.
My husband's second middle name is Prometheus. When we graduated from library school and they read his name out, everyone cheered.
We had an Anastasia in our family, nobody knows why, since the rest were all quite ordinary Irish Catholic names like Frances and Constance and Michael.
A wacky middle name is a good time.
My sister wanted me to name the Dillo "Edward Copernicus," but we didn't.
I know a family with kids named Tycho and Celeste. The mother is an astronomer.
I do not understand why publishing requires an environment like that. Get over yourselves, wordsmiths!
I feel like we missed out not giving either kid the middle name "Danger".
I know one of those! And a mutual friend who is super judgey about it.
