I was just going to say that. We have some family friends who are very fond of certain names, but nothing like this other family. There was a wedding announcement in the paper for the former "Miss Smith" and "Mr. Jones". The new Mrs. Jones was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Smith XXIII. (Yes, 23rd!) I thought that it was a typo until I kept reading and it said that her grandparents were Mr. and Mrs. John D Smith XXII and that her brother Mr. John D. Smith XXIV was a groomsman.
