There were two (2) Maynard boys in the same neighborhood, one having black hair and one having red hair. Their nicknames were "Black Owen" (had black hair) and "Red Owen" (had reddish-sandy-blonde color hair) to differentiate them. My grandfathers grew up/went to school with both boys and they were known by their school teachers/family members/friends as "Black Owen" and "Red Owen"; HOWEVER, FAG will not allow me to show "Black Owen" as his nickname, stating nickname can't be same as first name .. DAH! .. I have removed the "Black Owen" because, having to use FAG format, it appeared as if "Black Owen" was his middle name (as FAG would show it), and that would be VERY INCORRECT as his middle name was NOT "Black Owen"!! "Ya' know, the hair color is an "Irish thing!!" - remember why many of our Irish ancestors were referred to as "black Irish"? [We have a similar problem when Jesse "Long Neck" Maynard is used to differentiate from relative named Jesse "Short Neck" Maynard - "Long Neck" and "Short Neck" are their nicknames, not their middle names!] ..
