Middle names?? Most of my dad's relatives, including some of the ladies, use their middle names exclusively,,

Another curveball,, about 1/4 my aunts used names that did not derive from their given name. My #1 favorite grand Aunt Peggy,, was Georgina or Georgena or Georgiana,,

A Royal PITA


I b having fun
