[The Ornery One]

I went to school with a girl named Shermalee. Her parents expected a boy and were going to name her after her dad, Sherman. She hated it even more when her brother was born and he didn't get named Sherman.

As for people naming sons after their fathers, I've heard a lot of complaints. Most guys I've known that were named after their father, used their middle name instead. My cousin even uses his initials, instead of Gordon III. I never could understand why my husband got mad about me naming my son Patrick instead of Richard when my husband even said himself that he hated his name.
