Wiley Blevins: Hello, my name is Wiley Blevins. Wiley isn't a very common first name, rather it's usually a person's last name. I'm from the South and many families there give their sons last names as first names. Often this is to honor someone important in the family. My grandfather was also named Wiley but I don't know who he was named after. However, my grandfather and I don't corner the market on unusual names in our family. My father's name was Herbert Laverne, and I had a great-grandfather named Golden Hawk.
