Not being a parent I have no idea what kind of things parents consider when naming thier children. Over the last few weeks I have been entering family information into my family roots program. Most of our family names are the typical John, James, Mary and Jane. However every once in awhile I will come across a name that jumps off the page.
The most unique male name so far is Tuberville. Tuberville's parents were named John and Nancy so it does not appear that his name is a family name. (I have not yet found any other Tuberville). Was his named based on a place. We do have our share of names like Tennessee and Missouri so maybe Tuberville is a city where they lived. I have no evidence of this but anything is possible.
Some parents just like the way a name sounds with the last name. Maybe this is what was the case here. So what is Tuberville's last name? Looney. That is right Tuberville Looney. . . .
