Definitely a generational thang! Shannon is used for girls more than boys nowadays too. (BTW, when I was growing up, one of the neighbor boys was nicknamed Connie.) I'm not saying Kelly B. Collins isn't a guy; I just don't think so, that's all.

"Keely" is definitely a woman -- an Amazon woman!

Veta would appear to be an old woman. She's the sister of a woman who died earlier this year at age 88. See this obit: a href="http://www.rootsweb.com/~txterry/ObitHarveyZoe.htm">http://www.rootsweb.com/~txterry/ObitHarveyZoe.htm
