Yes, they do have some very interesting names. The nicknames are fun (or not, I suppose depends who you are). My husband's aunt lived next door to "half-ear" and his grandfather's nickname was "scissors" because he was a tailor. I'm trying to think if anyone from his family/that I know there has a great last name but the best I've got is his last name basically means "lefty." My last name is Norwegian origin so, yeah, just son of Ole. LOL
