My grandmothers and grandfathers born circa 1905-1930. For some reason around
this time period names got really funky. Prior to this names seem more normal
like Pierre or Jean Batiste etc. At least thats my perception. I wonder why
this is?

Zulmae (her parents - Voorhis Bonin + Lilicade Amy)
Howard (his parents - Euzebe Breaux + Elizabeth "Lizzie" Crochet)

Desia (his parents - Gustav Berard + ? Girouard)
Merde (her parents - Will Landry + Edia Crochet)

I think I got most of that right.

Joel

I think these Greek names (Théophile, Ulysse, Hypolite, etc) also became
popular in France, apparently some years before Canada and Louisiana. I
think it is because in the years following the French
Revolution-1789--the Catholic Church was persecuted in France. Priests
began giving non-Christian names to replace the biblical ones that had
preceded (Jean, Joseph, Paul, Baptiste, Pierre) etc. as a way to hide
the baby's baptism from revolutionary authorities. In France, the
revolutionary authorities even went so far as to change the names of the
months.

Eventually, the naming practice became fashionable and moved to North
America with French priests.

Just a theory....

I am not sure what one would have to do with the other since the months in
English are already pagan. Are they so different in French and have a
Christian basis. I don't remember much of my high school French, but I don't
think so.

The Revolutionary calendar added one month so the year would be even, 13
months of 28 days. The additional month was in the summer and called
Thermidor, if I remember right.

Do you really think that priests named babies in SW Louisiana at the beginning
of this century? I have a friend who is 3/4 Cajun. His father was born about
1900 and was named Telem

No question that priests were naming babies well into this century. As
an attorney, I have seen many cases where people born in the 1900s,
1910s, 1920s, 1930s either did not know, were unsure of, or were always
called something other than the names that appear on their birth
certificates. They always explain it as having been named by the local
priest. They didn't do so bad in most cases, after
all.........certainly no worse than naming children for cities in Texas
or names taken from soap operas as seems to have become the case
lately.......

I like my daughter's name, Madeleine-Rose. My wife and I chose that.

Remember, once the name gets added to the "family tree," it often
remains. My father was born in 1924, and his middle name is Casimere,
his older brother's Tojulle. And if I have a son someday, I'm
definitely giving him Casimere, with no priest's input at all. It's
the family thing to do.

I'll accept the explanation but my father's side of the family is Protestant,
so no priest involved. As far back as I can trace, the name that my male
parental ancestors was called is different than their formal name. It may
have something to do with their formal name but it was still different and
not usually just a diminuativ

You are never too shameful to show your ignorance and bias, are you? My
father died when I was five and far too young to have his "ways" imbedded in
me. Using you line of thinking, I would assume your father was also an
ignorant bigot.

More than likely Belgium. A large contingent of politico's have
gone there to invite them to the reunion next year. Even our
town's Mayor is over there... I guess a letter or video tape
can't compare with a personal visit and a paid vacation...

father and even if he was not with you through your growth (i.e physically)
i am sure he was with you very much in very special wayz , thou maybe it is
your ignorance that allows you to understand these wayz of communication and

Ahhh, that explains it, see here in Louisiana we're just "cajun"

the two...

Yes, so? You also claimed that everyone is "cajun" at one time.
As I remember that included all afrikan's, vietnamese, mexicans,
little green men and 1st nations peoples. Now you want to rule
me out? I was born here, I've lived all but 3 years of my life
here. I think that qualifies me head and tail above anything
imported...
