Nanas Family

Was just visiting with my Nan today and she was looking through her family photo album, she was sharing stories of her growing up and being the oldest of 12 she has some interesting stories. She was born in P.E.I, Canada and I just wanted to share her family names because they have an interesting mix.

-Mariann Helen Matilda (Goes by Helen) *This is my nan and she is 96yrs old*

-Gladys

-Mary

-Donnette (Goes by Donna)

-Terry *female* (I actually am not 100% if that is short for something, it never occured to me to ask)

- Minvera (Goes by Jeannie..Makes no sense, I know)

-Dorthea (She did go by Dot, but about 10yrs ago asked everyone to call her Morganna)

- Anne

-Phyllis

-Margaret (Goes by Marge)

- Sal *female* (Again, not 100% on what that is short for I would geuss Sally but given that most of them dont go by their given names I cant be sure of anything)

- William (Bill)  The only boy of the 12.

 My nana's parents names are William and Victoria.

Why did Dot ask to be called Morganna? Ha Thats so different, is she older? I love that she asked to be called something different! I love the mix of names, thats actually quite a variety!

That's so cool! I love the name Minerva, and I wouldn't have expected it to be in that list of sibling names. Funny she goes my Jeannie. My grandfather was named Walter but everyone called him Bob-- go figure.  :)

Its actually sort of funny...She got into numerology and doing "readings" for people, and Morganna is apparently her spritual name?

my great aunt is named Darleen but has always gone by Emma. No clue why. I actually was probably in high school before I even knew her real name.
