Names in Kentucky

I have written in a previous post about the wonderful names of towns in Kentucky.  I have discovered that the personal names of people are equally fun and unusual!  I have only run into a Bubba once here and will post on that story sometime in the future.

Here is a list of some of the best ones I’ve found so far:

Hollon

Linwood

Cleve

Tanner

Haywood

Efrian

Elzie

Lera (female)

Triggy

Macy

Delphus

Fllis

Rondal (also Rondell)

Dane

Roex

Tigar

Daron

Ody

Otha (I asked Otha where his name came from and he claimed he never asked his mother.)

Ody

Lenna

Isreal (spelled this way, too)

Condit

And my personal, all time favorite nickname is “Tater”.  Bobby “Tater” Thomas of Munfordville.

I will add unusual names as I find them.

And I have been told that there is a community called Bug Tussle nearby.
