Au Contraire
So here’s a nice reference to our book: http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/family/archives/132057.asp?from=blog_last3.
If you read the comments, you’ll see an attempt to undermine my honor, claiming that we got the “Ima Pigg” wrong and it should be “Ima Hogg”. Don’t believe it. Regardless of the famous Texan, “Ima Hogg,” there is in fact an Ima Pigg as well. She was born somewhere around 1890 and lived in Oklahoma at the time of the 1930 census. Look for yourself.
Of course, this is a married name. I don’t know, ladies. Is this a deal breaker: “Will you marry me? If you do, you’ll forever be known as ‘Ima Pigg’.”

My wife’s maiden name was Korpus, spelled K-O-R-P-U-S-that’s-a-K-not-a-C (as you watch them draw a vertical line through the inevitable C).
She couldn’t wait to change her name (my name is Baker, nice & generic). She has said that about the only name she wouldn’t have changed to, would have been Lipschitz.
When I was in high school the president of the PTA was called Gay Hoar. In this case, like Ima Pigg’s, Hoar was her married name.
