Ozella

When parents choose a name for their newborn, usually there is a significant amount of time and thought that goes into the process.  I know I had a list of names going long before I was ever expecting.  I looked through baby name books, thought about family names, searched out orgins and meanings of names, and took in consideration suggestions from others.  I tend to lean towards unique names.

One of the most unique names that I have ever came across is Ozella.  This is the name of a lady from my hometown.  We went to church together and my parents were card playing buddies with Ms Ozella and her husband.  I don't know the history of her name.  I don't know if it's a family name or if  she was named after someone.  Naturally, it is not a name that you hear every day.  I only know one Ozella, but I did come across a name very similar, Mozella.  My husband knew a Mozella.  Isn't that ironic? 

I am going to be in my hometown during Easter and if I should meet up with Ms Ozella, I plan to ask her about her name.  Maybe she will be pleased to know that her name was the inspiration for my 'O' blog.

What unique name do you know?

    I can't think of any original names.

  2. I have never heard that name (or Mozella)either. Very interesting post. I would like to read about her name if you ever learn the story. I'm stopping by from the A to Z challenge and I look forward to reading more from you.
