Ten Million and Decillion Million
Ten Million (1889-1964) was a minor league baseball player from the state of Washington. Decillion Million was his daughter.
Ten’s grandmother was apparently the person behind both names. She convinced Ten’s parents to go with “Ten,” and later convinced Ten and his wife Christine to pick “Decillion” with a bribe of $50. (That’d be over $1,100 in today’s dollars.)
Decillion wisely decided to go by Dixie as an adult.
