Last names we are givin..
So I took the kids to school this morning, and saw a real estate sign and the name on the sign was "Karen Beer." This took my brain into thinking, "how does one get a last name like Beer?" I bet college guys all over the states would LOVE to have a last name like that lol. I mean I think if I had a last name like that I would try to work at Anheuser-Bucsh, or Heineken, work my way to the president of the company! If your last name is say "Bravo" you'd better be good at whatever you do, I mean thats a lot of pressure! If your last name is "Love" I would automatically assume you were a nice, loving person, you should get into ministry maybe. If your last name is "Butt" (which there is, by the way), I would think you should maybe get into the toilet paper industry. (hee,hee). I could go on and on, but my point is, how and why would you choose this name for the generations to come after you. You are putting this on your family crest! For instance the name "Soseman" means "Sauce maker" in German or something like that. This makes sense! Obviously Jonny's ancestor was pretty good at makin' sauces. This would be an excellent and appropriate name for his great, great, great grandchildren! I am not sure what the name "Cloyd" means, but I would rather not know the meaning than have it mean something like "idiot." All of this thinking made me want to look up more names, so I started by searching the sight "Behind the name" oh boy there are some doozies! I picture the day a town in Germany, decided to organize their village so they announce that everyone must quickly pick a family name. A husband looks at the wife, and says quick we need a name, close your eyes and when you open them tell me the first thing you see, and that is what our name will be!! When the wife opens her eyes she sees the baker across the street binding over to pick up flour, and she yells out "BUTT!!" "Ok, wife we shall forever go by the name "Mr. and Mrs. Butt!" To the horrifying shock of their children, and grandchildren after them. Yep, this is what goes through my brain when I see names like this, lol. Actually I did look up the name "Butt" and its meaning is: "short and stumpy." I don't think that makes it any better. I wonder if the man that picked this name was made fun of in school for being so short and stumpy and it was like a brand to him. Anyway, names are so strange and its funny, how we are stuck with what we get lol. I think I am done babbling about this now, I have to get ready to go to the store, Jonny asked if I would make desert bars for his pot luck at work. I think I am going to have honey chicken, and Parmesan potatoes tonight, so I'd better make sure all the ingredients are here, because I hate making double trips to the grocery store. I don't really like making one trip to the grocery store, but its a necessary evil :P.
