something Kind of funny. · 12:13am March 1st
As it turns out, most of my relatives on my Mother's side of the family go by their second names. For example, my mother's first name is Adina, but prefers to go by her second: Donnette. My older uncle Richard is more commonly known as Errton. I call him Uncle E.
My grandmother (who recently became 90 years old!) is firstly named Daphne, but is more commonly known by Doreen.
My aunt's first name... Agnes, but goes by Lona.
I think the exceptions to the rule are my cousins, my uncle Pat and my other aunt, Eva.
My father's side of the family.... does NOT do that. I won't reveal those names here, though; that isn't necessary.
