Esther May Hawley Van Horn and Guy Elliott Van Horn
Howard Alexander Thon and Vernice Brauer Thon
(pronounced "Tone")
Kelsey and Covey were throwing out possible names for their future little munchkins (no, they are not expecting), and a favorite of mine is Kingsley, just because we would have too much fun with Kingsley Cole ("Ol' King Cole was a merry old soul...."). I told them how much I've loved having family names for my girls (Elaine, Sarah, Barbara and Caroline are all family names--a few from my side of the family and a few from Steve's side) Just think, if we kept going we could've had an Esther, Vernice, Guy, Elliott, Howard or Alexander running around. Maybe one of my girls will choose to bestow one of these names on a child of theirs some day. That would be sweet.
"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
