I do not know whether there ever was a Pickle-Pepper Act but that would have been fun!<br /><br /><b>Snowbrush,</b> the sisters are both active on Facebook so I knew they were alive.

I’ll go ahead and request the first of the many copies that people will ask you to autograph, but I’ll be hoping that your style of writing doesn’t inspire many imitators.<br /><br />I, too, have wondered why parents would name a kid something that would make him or her the subject of ridicule.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-21489948519229888172016-11-14T09:17:53.292-05:002016-11-14T09:17:53.292-05:00Two examples from my own book of names:

(I'm assuming that you have such things as pickled onions in America?)<br /><br />My second is probably apocryphal but I was told by someone who is generally reliable that she was at school with a girl called Bythesea Shore.Shooting Parrotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503757845024102476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-60763096707983420862016-11-12T14:46:42.076-05:002016-11-12T14:46:42.076-05:00Those are some good names alright.I grew up in an ...Those are some good names alright.I grew up in an area rife with Sittercups, Lipschitz es, Stuhlklien, to name a few.
