Dang, that's all I can think of now. I wish I had more. A lot if the names were tough to pronounce but were international, so were in a different category.


Also, River, Running Bird, Holden. Three brothers. I like Holden. Not sure what we were thinking with the others.

3 brothers named Larry, Gary and Terry. Their sister was Valerie, but I often wondered why not Mary. They were immigrants.

I knew twins named Tik and Tok. They arrived from SE Asia as babies, but never took anglo names. Good for 'em.

The popular name I cringe every time I hear is Tallulah. It's just SO ugly.
