My grandfather had an uncle we all called Uncle A.D., but no one knew what it stood for. Eventually my mom asked what A D stood for, this is not a joke. He was the youngest of twelve children, and for whatever crazy ass reason, whether they'd run out of names or his mom was too out of it after giving birth and left naming up to his dad, but he ended up with the oh so clever name A Dozen. First Name: A, Middle Name: Dozen.
@mrscollector, can you out Texas that one?
First off I was looking for about 5 minutes at this comment list wondering why it was telling me there was a new comment lmao I took Allergy medicine lol some good shit lmao
Ok 2nd You brought up so many stories lmao
1. My Mom's twin brother everyone calls Harry. My siblings and me call him Uncle Har like HA-R. His real name is Curly. He just happens to be Hairy.
2. My daughter calls my brother 2yrs younger than me Uncle Yeti. His real name Marshall.
3. A great Uncle Coke.
4. A Uncle Buck
5. A Uncle Chuck
6. My Mom's Mom was Lucy Lee
Now here is what is important. Her first name Lucy her middle name Lee. Now why does that matter? Her mom was such an ass that she was mid telling the nurse. The name of my grandma at birth and before she said Lee she sees my grandma was fat and not a beautiful baby she wants ugly just not perfect like her older sister and was. So she said make her middle name Lee. See originally they were going to name her after my grandma's mom Lucylee all one name.
And my grandma ended not even using her name after she found out and made everyone call her Mama Sally. But me and my siblings called her Mim.
7. My Dad's mom spent YEARS AND YEARS telling everyone her name was Midge. It was even on her license and social security card. Turned out her name was Auline she was a surprise twin she can 2nd and they had no name for her so made it up on the way spot. Her twin Pauline. The hospital wouldn't let us have her remains because not even her son my Dad knew her real name. I did they didn't even think to ask me lol.
8. Not family member lol do you know what HEB stand for lol the grocery store is named after it's owner. Howard E. Butts
O almost forgot I was going to tell this one lmao
9. For YEARS there was this man that went to all our family reunions to parties to graduations to birthdays to even family holiday events. Everyone k ew him as Wilson. No one could figure out HOW he was related or knew the family. Turned out he was the man my grandma was dating while dating my grandpa. She was dating 2 men at the same time. My grandpa was in the army in WW2 and Wilson was a teacher who was told he couldn't join. My grandpa came back and asked my grandma to marry him he knew about Wilson and Wilson knew about him. They felt so bad they asked him to come to their wedding and he just kept going to all events lol.
Yep, knew that about H.E.B., I think every Texas kid learned that growing up, especially if you took the historical tour.
My great Uncle, one of A.D.s brother's, was an infamous moonshiner during prohibition. His name was...wait for it...
Jethro (long E, Jeethro, not Jethro like Clampit though)
He was so sought after that when they finally caught him, despite it being the lae to immediately destroy any still they found, the cops couldn't bring themselves to destroy his. For one it wad pure copper, so it was a thing a beauty, but also, it was a major throphy, having actually gotton ahold of Jethro Holmes still. So instead they put it on display in the middle of town under armed guard, to show off how awesome they were.
Uncle Jethro had it stolen back the same night and they never found it and never caught who stole it.
Also, there are 4, FOUR Kenny Charles, and not on the same side, in my family. And there were two separate brothers both with the first name Charles. My maternal grandparents had 3 (or 4, I honestly loose count and there was at least one baby sold off) siblings with the same name. I swear, they either recycle the same 5 names, or just pick the most batshit crazy ones they can think of.
