Grandfather Farmer's given names were Frank and James. Our family believes that his parents named him Frank after his great-grandfather Francis, and James after his two grandfathers, both of whom were named James.
A few days ago it occurred to me that great-grandfather Farmer, a man of stately and Southern appearance who didn't trust financial institutions, might have had, in the 1880s in Kansas, another reason to name a son Frank James. I don't think Mrs. Laquedem would agree to name another son Nicholas Leeson Laquedem or Conrad Black Laquedem, but it's an intriguing thought.
