Has anyone ever heard of the name 'Taze' before? The one and only person with this name I have ever heard of is Charles Taze Russell.
Is anyone familiar with it? Maybe there were some early Bible Students that named their offspring after him?
Just curious.
Hi GermanJW,
Come to think of it, I have never known anyone to name their children after someone in the WT. Thank goodness my parents didn't.

Hi,
There was one in our congregation named Taze Newton, I don't know if he was named after the infamous Charles or not. His dad was a JW from way back in his day. They are both dead now.

I have a JW cousin and HER middle name is "Franz".
GJW,
The reason you've never heard of it before is because it was a ---typographical error!!!!
His parents meant to name him Charles CRAZE Russell.

In the 1800/1900s, at least in Germany many brethren - including Branch Servant Paul Balzereit - cultivated a beard like C.T.Russell. When Rutherford saw that, he made a deal with Balzereit: he had to take off the beard to get something from the Judge (I can't remember what).
We were in one congregation (which shall remain nameless) where there was one little boy, he'd be about 14 now, by the name of Taze.
I felt sorry for him even then.
