Names of the children I went to school with
I started kindergarten in 1943. I was thinking of the names of the kids I went to school with, and I think there were some unusual names then as well. From memory: Girls - my best friend was Patty (Patricia) and her other best girlfriend was Scott. I totally never thought that Scott is usually a boy's name. Marilese was my principal competitor as she was much better in math than I was. (I think it was a contraction of Mary Louise. I'm not sure whether it was like my cousin's real given name which was Mariby - a contraction of Mary Barbara or if it was a nickname.) Ruth (also better than me in math) Louise Lois Sandra Carol twins Gay and Gwen Susan Claire Sarah Boys: Cator (I think a family name) Davey whose real name was Davis after Jefferson Davis Billy (was killed driving drunk coming home from the prom in HS) Kit (Christopher) Bobby Van Albert Charles Lawrence John Guy (his dad's name was Guy which was his grandmother's maiden name) Kenneth H.M. (stood for Howard Milton) grandma Rosalie |

My best friend's name was Patty/Patricia too. But all the other girls were named Linda, Kathy or Debbie.

From memory: [snip] Lois My mom's name is Lois (she's your age). I remember being about five years old and asking her if her name had been Lois when she was a little girl -- it seemed like a name only for adults. -- Sara, accompanied by the baby barnacle |
