Drummond

My maternal grandfather carried the given name of George and a middle name of Drummond.  In his honor, I was given George as my middle name.

That’s good stuff and I am proud to carry his name.  In my eyes, he ranks as a real-life hero.  At the same time, I wish I was able to give his middle name to someone.

Although there was that time in 1982 when I and the sister of my then girlfriend made a snowman and named him Drummond.

The name Drummond, in my estimation, resonates with power.  It is, like my grandfather, of Scottish origin and means “ridge”.

I am thinking it is not too late for another generation to adopt the name.

Are you listening, another generation?
