Anonymous asked: 'Voicy'? I've never heard it before. Was a name before or you're making it?

I’ve only heard it in my family, a few relatives have the name and I wanted to commemorate them.  But I’ve literally never heard of it outside the family, and I’ve looked far and wide.  My dad thought maybe it started out as a reflection of them being extremely loud as babies or something, and then stuck around as a family name, but we don’t really know where it came from for sure, only that it’s from the Okie branch of the family.  My great-aunt Voicy told me it took her a long time to get used to her name but eventually she came to embrace it.

This is a picture of my great-grandmother Voicy’s grave, and someone put a picture of her daughter Voicy on there too thinking it was a picture of my great-grandma, but they’re actually two separate people with the same name.
