I am Bahamian (Freeport),to Irish parents.Incidently,wasnt Butter 2nd or 3rd generation Irish?
I've been living here in Belfast for over 30years
and I've never met anyone with that particular
surname. Devlin,Collins,O'neill,many.Butterfield
none.
* SMO-J...Butterfield was Jewish.
Is it a common/popular name in U.S?
Not at all.
I must say thanks to Johnny T for his very interesting and typically entertaining Butter facts.I wasn't aware of his penchant for guns nor of Sammy Lays lack of symmetry! Regard Sean.
I stand corrected.I think I picked up that idea from the liner notes on the back cover of 'An offer you can't refuse',which features himself on one side ,BW on the other.
I guess thats burst my bubble somewhat,thinking that one of the 'Godfathers' was of Irish lineage.Maybe he was celtic Jewish??
Best regards Sean 'Golden' Stephens.
