I have a cousin named David and a brother-in-law by the name of Joe. My real name is Beth, and I have a nephew named Chris......I have met a few Rogers, an Amy, a couple of Maggies, couple of Vicki's in my time....but I have yet to come across a Barnabas or Quentin! Curses!
I have nephews named Nicholas, Joe(y), Sam and Tom(my), 2 more nephews named John (called Jack & Sean-they're brothers too-LOL!), cousins named David, Chris, Paul, Maggie, Laura and Tim, an Aunt Carolyn (we call her Peg though), an aunt named Willie (as in Willie Mae-from Kentucky you understand ), an aunt named Sarah, an aunt named Catherine (dead now), an uncle Ned (whose real name is Charles), an uncle Bill, my mom's name is Elizabeth (called Betty-as in Hanscombe!), and a cousin named Elizabeth (called Liz!), an uncle Bob, and my brother-in-laws got nieces named Maggie and Catherine. And, for the piece-da-la-resistance--another aunt's married name was Collins!There's a woman who works for the landlord where I work named Vickie, I had a neighbor when I was a kid named Amy, I have a friend named Roger, one named Janet (Phoebe on here) and another named Bob, and there's a Saint BARNABAS road in the area where I live! That's all I can come up with so far. Will update later if I think of anyone I forgot.
But.....what, no Bramwell's?
Our family history gets rather sketchy in the late 1700s. (I'm not kidding!, lol!)
We recently got a new dog recently, a dauchsand....I suggested to my mom she call him Barnabas....she smiled and said no his name is Frisky, that's the name the people who sold him to my mom called him and she's gonna stick to it.Drat, foiled again! Still no Barnabas!
What I'm getting at is an engagement announcement in our newspaper today and the parents of the groom are Mr. and Mrs. Buzz Devlin!

Hmmm, interesting theory. But who's the WIFE!
