On my mother's side of the family, the family names are Cornelius and Aloysius for boys and Catherine (my mothers name) for girls. My father really wanted to name my brother Cornelius Aloysius, but my mother disliked the family names, and they named him Sean (a cousin ended up getting Aloysius, we call him Ally (said Olly), and another cousin got Cornelius as a middle name).
Growing up I thought those names were heinous (well, not catherine), but now Aloysius has really grown on me (I even named our newest car Aloysius).
What do you think of them?


Other family names:

Donald (big name on my dads side, including his name)
Mecca (cousin, they weren't trying to be religious)
Helen (cousin's baby)
Grey (cousin's baby)
