Column: Names can be intriguing

Names are an interesting thing. The year I was born, the top five names for boys were Michael, David, John, James and Robert. For girls, it was Mary, Susan, Linda, Karen and Donna. In that era, it was popular to find a name from a relative. In my time, boys were sometimes named for a family member who died in the war.
