After graduating from Harvard with a degree in mathematics, Frank Livingstone earned a
masters and doctorate in anthropology from the University of Michigan, where he became a
professor and chairman of the anthropology department. He was best known for his research in
Liberia and West Africa and his work on sickle cell disease. His research focused on genetic
variation in modern human populations and he wrote about the uselessness of the term “race” as
applied to human evolution. Livingstone died in 2005.

I was just reading about the paleontologists Cope and Marsh. Cope’s full name is Edward Drinker Cope and Marsh’s name is Othniel Charles Marsh. No wonder people refer to them by their last names!

My friend’s mom is named Terry Berry.

Since I go by Julie, and my last name starts with T, people tend to read those together as Juliet.

But my favorite strange names come from a friend’s family, the Bent’s. Their youngest is Maria Lexus Bent, and their oldest is Mercedes Bent.
