Goody Goodman, as was my grandfather's, but not my father's, I don't
think. Funny story--my whole life I knew my grandfather, who died
when I was 4, was Grandpa Goody. I knew his real name was Herman,
but I never thought about why he was called Goody for like 20 YEARS!
Until people started calling my brother Goody and then it dawned on
me. I was totally like So THAT'S why he was Grandpa Goody! People
congratulated me for finally figuring it out.
