Who names their kid Enola Gay anyway? I know it's a plane, but he named the plane after his mother. Enola Gay Tibbets. Even when "gay" just meant "happy," it still sounds like an awkward name.

I went to school in the ‘60’s with a couple of girls named Gay. I also knew a guy born in the late ‘30’s named Gaylord and called “Gay.” He was a Navy pilot. Gay in terms of sexuality wasn’t commonly used until the late 1960’s in my neck of the woods (rural Iowa).
