A to Z - Eye on Texas: T

Eye on Texas T heads up into the Texas Panhandle to visit Turkey Texas

 As the home of Bob Wills (1905-1975), you better like Western Swing music if you live here. In 1950 he had two top 10 hits - "Ida Red Likes the Boogie" and "Faded Love". Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, with Bob on the fiddle, toured regular and gained popularity in the 1940s and 50s. He was inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1968.

 Approximately four hundred people enjoy the semi-arid climate of Turkey Texas.

 From Wikipedia, an ESPN 2007 broadcast said there were only three towns named Turkey in the USA.

In November 2011, animal rights group PETA petitioned the town to rename itself to "Tofurkey".

Really?  NO.  Gobble, Gobble

A to Z Challenge - Troublemakers? T character names

Doubting Thomas?  or Tess of the d'Urbervilles?  Let's explore the letter T

1920s - No T names at all
2010 - boys had Tyler, Thomas, and Tristan
Girls name call had Taylor and that's it.

Let's name some characters in my next books with the letter T

Females
Taffy (Welsh) one who is much loved.  She strikes me as a bit wifty too
Taisa (Greek) one who has a bond
Tawny (Irish) a warm sandy color. Oh yeah, she's a hot one
Tempest (French) stormy and turbulent. Life can be exciting but difficult with this young lady
Tzilla (Hebrew) a defender of her loved ones
Topaz (Latin) resembling the yellow gemstone


Males
Taban (gaelic) a genius
Tahoe (Native American)  snowy mountain peak
Talmadge (English) one who loves nature
Tau (African) resembling a lion.  He's going to annoy Tawny or Tempest
Titus (greek) a great defender
Tybalt (latin) seeks the truth
Tywysog (welsh)  born to royalty. A prince.  (how do you say this. I bet he goes by his middle name - Ray) (or kids tease him by calling him soggy)

Time to tiptoe and trill T names...........your faves?
