Either first/middle names that are passed down, or last names that you may not share that you are related to?
I’m still salty that I didn’t inherit my name through my mother’s side, or I might be a Van Den Boom – spelled (as I like to say it when I steal the name for characters) capital-V, capital-D, capital-Boom!
I recently discovered that I am related to an Abraham Jacob van Imbijze Van Batenburg.
I have no idea how to say Imbijze, but I think it fucking rocks.
The best I can do here is… my grandmother’s and mother’s middle name is Maxine. Sadly, my mom hated that name, so I did not get Maxine as a middle name as well. Which is sad-making. Because at some point, I know I would have started going by my middle name. “Call me Max.” :)
Somewhere in the depths of the 19th century there was an immigrant from Scotland, from whom i am somehow descended, and I shit you not, his actual name was:
Launcelot Junco.
For real! Launcelot Junco. I just think that’s great.
