Caroline is named after my mother, Carol. As for her middle name, Rose, it's just a name that we like.
Culp is named for Mike's great-great aunt, Oveta Culp Hobby. She was a very interesting woman. Oveta Culp Hobby (January 19, 1905–August 16, 1995) was the first secretary of the 
Department of Health, Education and Welfare, first commanding officer of the Women's Army Corps, and chairman of the board of the Houston Post. She was also married to Texas Governor William Hobby. She also made the decision to legalize Jonas Salk's polio vaccine. Mike's maternal grandmother is also named after her. Culp's middle name, Connelly, also came from another Texas Governor, John Connally. And yes, we know the spelling is different.
