I'm sitting beside her bed at St. Michael's hospital. When I asked her to tell me her sister's names, she refused at first. I have always found their names interesting.
Mother has always been very sensitive about her name. She's insulted when someone assumes that "Clay" is a man's name. (I haven't put her other name here, though she probably wouldn't know unless I told her.)
Do you have any interesting names in your family?
