Mollycraig Smith was so named because her parents had each made unfortunate promises to key family members. Mr. Smith had promised his mother Molly that he would name his unborn daughter after her; Mrs. Smith had sworn up and down to her father Craig that her unborn son would be named after him.
When Mollycraig came along–and both grandparents were present–Mr. and Mrs. Smith had to think fast in the delivery room.
Luckily, they’d promised Great Uncle Joe and Great Aunt Jo Mollycraig’s middle name.
