"Favorite Name"

I like odd names. When you are doing genealogy it can make things easier to find, well sometimes. It certainly makes them more interesting. You get to try out different spellings, because odd names often have people trying to spell phonetically. Anyway, this week I'll focus on Aloysious McCort (1879-1933). I have found his name spelled several interesting ways.
Aloysious McCort was born to James McCort and Mary Ellen Butler. He was the youngest of their 12 children, and was born 29 July 1879 in Somerset Township, Belmont, Ohio. As of the WWI draft he was a carpenter. He never married or had kids. He died 21 June 1933 of double pneumonia.
