Aggie87 Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 (edited) Esbjorn Terje Trygve Actually, these actually shouldn't probably count, as they are probably a bit more common in Norway/Sweden than the rest of the world... edit - is "Bobo" actualy Stenson's given name?

king ubu Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Ornette is obvious -- did that name even exist before he got it? Then how about Denardo? Is that a common name anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Larsen Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Ornette is obvious -- did that name even exist before he got it? Then how about Denardo? Is that a common name anywhere? It seems to be a very common Italian last name, but I've never heard of it as a first name except for Ornette's son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Frankly, I never really considered Ornette an unusual name, though upon further consideration I am hard pressed to think of other Ornettes. Same here. Though I've heard the name "Hobart" before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dig'Em Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 What the hell kinda name is Norah? Seriously, I kinda like Eubie. I guess Wardell isn't terribly uncommon...of course that wasn't Gray's given first name anyway. Bummer to learn that "Miff" was really "Irving", Mugsy just "Joseph" and "Turk" an uninsipred "Melvin". Undoubtedly, jazz needs more Dweezils and Moon Units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dig'Em Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 ORNAH: "cedar tree." Also Orna, Ornetta, and Ornette. http://britam.org/genealogy/Hebrew-Names.html ORNAH is, like, an anagram for NORAH. And if ORNAH is Cedar Tree, then NORAH and CEDAR Walton are, like, kinfolk. Damn.

paul secor Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Never thought about it before, but listening to the introduction of Ornette on Sound Grammar made me wonder if Ornette is a variation of Arnett. (Not that there are a lot of Arnetts around - at least not in my experience.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Jutta Hipp maybe the right moment to remark that "Bismark" seems about as uncommon to me as "Bix"... "Bismarck", the historical figures second name, i would call already uncommon, even if 120 years ago a bunch of people decided to call their children that way, it has not aged very well... and "Bismark"... Jutta on the other hand is rather common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
