- I imagine we could all contribute to such a list. Here's my contribution:
-
- Non Douglas
-
- This was the name of my high school senior English teacher. She was an
- only child and her parents wanted a boy and were going to name him
- Douglas. She was a girl and a Non Douglas.
-
- I swear this is the absolute truth. Her father was our family dentist for
- many years and both she and he told the same story.
