Cool trivia. Thanks.

You got my curriosity going with that thread title. That's a funny name.

[mec]

The link says he got that from a race horse. Never knew that till I read it.

I had an uncle named Walkin Grabbit.

[mec]

we had a guy in waco named Truly Strange- nickname I guess but . I.P. Rainwater was real. He used to sue the city over trifles -probably because his mom and dad were stupid enough to give him that name.

[CuriousG]

I was just joking, but that would be funny if I did have an uncle whose name was Walkin Grabbit.

[Teresa]

It's not that I didn't believe you, mec, but I had to look.

TRUE (http://granfalloon2001.tripod.com/granny2001/comedy9depr/imagesdepr/fetchitsteppinpage.htm)

Every time I see this thread I think of Walkin Grabbit. Boo Hiss.

[CuriousG]

Well, you can start thinking of Joggin Snachit...

Then there was Frank Zappa. Names his kids Dwezel and Moon Unit. Before that was Lear- the guy who developed the private jet and the speakers for car radios. Names his daughter Shanda.

Governor Hogg of Texas named one daughter Ima but did not, contrary to legend, name the other one Ura.

There are a lot of stories about H. E. Butt, founder of the HEB food store chain Henry or Harry emphatically did not name his daughter Ophelia.
