No Name
July 25, 2008 | Madison, Alabama | Vetting explained
My dad always tells the story of his names and lack of one. He was number 5 out of 7 kids. Apparently, when he was born his mother forgot to register a name for him. So all through high school they would call out "No Name". I think they finally got it fixed by doing a new birth certificate at that time. But his given name is Ormond - he is named after his girl cousin! I never though Ormond sounded like a girl's name - but that's the way things go in our family. I wanted to name my daughter Emily Elizabeth, after the Clifford books girl, but no one would let me - she is now Emily Grace.
