Milklin Filbert Honniker

Milklin Rufus Honniker

He just cries out for an even more terrible middle name.

Milklin Woodrow (Woody)Honniker.

Also, my own middle and last name are both extremely unpronounceable, especially when paired together, unless you grew up speaking French, which strangly I did not, so I can't really pronounce my own name.  It's pretty silly.  I am named after my great grandmother, who was named after an ancestor who died in the early 17's in Paris - she was a nun.  The only records of her are her cloistering and her death and the comment in the church register at the time of her death - translated to basically read:  "lived a chaste life."


How is it that someone who died a virgin turned out to also be a great grandmother?

If I'm reading this right, what happened is that there was a relative who lived a chaste life and died a nun. (Presumably she was a many-great aunts or something similar.) Some time later (remember, this nun died in the 1700's), side_show's great-grandmother was named after the nun, and then side_show was named after her great-grandmother.

I think.

This happens to me all the time. If somebody out there hasn't come up with a name for this phenomenon I will lose faith in the internet. Somebody came up with the term "ninja edit" so I demand a term for this as well.
