Le Nom Jeu
Our family heritage contains a cheerful mess of nationalities. Our last name, however, is French... or at least it was. Originally Robidoux or Rabideaux, it was eventually Americanized and allegedly simplified by one of our southbound Quebecois relatives. It's now just Rabdau (pronounced intermittently rab-daw or rab-dow). But as you can see from my (partial) collection, we answer to just about anything.

Nice, I can relate! I do wonder though- why are all your examples from the deep south? hmmm
Ha! Purely coincidental. I stopped collecting after about 25 or so.
Highly (HIGHLY!) entertaining.
