Interesting Preacher Names

One of the email discussion lists has a thread going about distinguished (or at least distinctive) names some well-known preachers, educators, and editors in churches of Christ have worn. Here is a sampling:

• Batsell Barrett Baxter (Jr. and Sr.)
• Vanderbilt Pierpont Black
• Eulie R. Brannan
  
• Grover Cleveland Brewer
• Hall Laurie Calhoun
  
• Arvy Glenn Freed
• Elmer Claude Gardner
  
• Benton Cordell Goodpasture
• Furman Kearley
  
• Theophilus Brown Larimore
• Reuel Lemmons
• Austin McGary
  
• Athens Clay Pullias
• Rubel Shelly
  
• Filo Bunyan Syrgley
• Fanning Yater Tant
  
• Foy Esco Wallace, Jr.
• Gervais Knox Wallace
  
• Guy Napoleon Woods
  
• Flavil Yeakley
• M. Norvel Young
  

No doubt this is just a start. Preachers not only live interesting lives, but some of us have interesting names. Others of us have names like John, Joe, Bill, Tom, Dick, and Harry!
