Wanda Watkins (my mom)
Wynne Wompler (my mom's sister.)
A note about these: It took their parents 7 years to be able to get pregnant with my mom (the oldest), that they thought she was going to be the only one. They decided to give her the same initials as her father, and to give her the same middle name (he was William Watkins *surname*, and it's a family name). Two years later, she got pregnant again. They were like "Oh man. We have to do the same thing for the next one." And they gave her another family name. They just thought Wynne was pretty, but she kept getting put into boys classes and everything because they thought it was a misprint of "Wayne".
Michael Garfield (dad's brother)
Alan John (dad's brother)
Jon McCauley (my dad)
A thing on John/Jon showing up twice: apparently, my grandmother was a very stubborn woman. Her favorite boy's name of all time was Jon (spelled that way). We have a very common last name - especially one for John/Jon, and grandpa was like "I'm not gonna torture my kid" and gave it to the kid they were having then (they had a deal: he would name the boys, she would name the girls). She wanted one of their kids to be James Garfield *last name* III, but someone else in the family named their kid that. She was like "Oh heck no! I'm naming the next kid." Next kid was my dad, and she basically said "I'm gonna use MY favorite name, and MY maiden name!" So there we go. lol.
