I have a relative on my grandmother's side that their first name is Euchariste......surname Montmarquet....so far I only see this name once in my research so far.
Courtney Fleming replied to Kathleen Fox Allen's discussion 'What's your favorite name?'
I have a Marinda (2nd g grandmother), a name I love. I also have a Surelda (or possibly Sarilda) a name I am not in love with!
Kathleen Fox Allen commented on Susanna Webber Lewis's group 'Weber/Webber family from Prussia'
I apologize for dropping off the face of the earth last summer, Susanna. I appreciated your help.
I've recently (finally!) found out where my Weber ancestors came from & when -- William (b.1845) and Elisabeth Weber arrived in…
Jim Avery replied to Kathleen Fox Allen's discussion 'What's your favorite name?'
My favorite name right at the moment is Ruby Rose. She was a child of an Avery who lived in Missouri.
On the other end of the scale my mom and her 4 sisters had names that didn't really gpo together. My mom was Gaihl Thema Romayne…

Adeliza De Louvain, Consort Queen of England (my 18th gr grandmother)
Susan Skilton replied to Kathleen Fox Allen's discussion 'What's your favorite name?'
One name I am very fond of is Fleury Keith, my 3x great-grandfather.When I was growning up our family had no idea where his first name came from. It seemed French and that is about all we knew. Once I got into serious researching, I learned from…
James P. LaLone replied to Kathleen Fox Allen's discussion 'What's your favorite name?'
Not a favorite name, but it does remind me of a "genealogy" joke. The census taker knocks on the door and introduces himself to the lady who answers the door, explaining his purpose. He starts asking her various questions including how…
Hannah Chambers replied to Kathleen Fox Allen's discussion 'What's your favorite name?'
Hehe - thickpenny!
Meaning "stupid" is first recorded 1590s - so yes, even back then it would have been a curse.
Julia Coppard replied to Kathleen Fox Allen's discussion 'What's your favorite name?'
Anyone else have a "Thickpenny" in their family tree! Poor child, what were his parents thinking in the 1700s!
Most likely it was his mother's maiden name, but when your siblings are all standard English names such as William,…
Cheri Boyd replied to Kathleen Fox Allen's discussion 'What's your favorite name?'
Mine would be Dicey. Something about it has a spark....flair. Dicey shows up for the first time on the 1870 census for Sauartown, North Carolina. I thought it was unique but found it to be a name that seems pretty relevant for that…
Sarah Ann Ashley replied to Kathleen Fox Allen's discussion 'What's your favorite name?'
Many of my relatives have a very useful middle name, the maiden name of their Mother. Very helpful! : )
The Storm Harrison is Storm from his Mothers maiden name. Unusual to be used as a first name.
Jeanie McCully replied to Kathleen Fox Allen's discussion 'What's your favorite name?'
It's hard to pick just one.
One of my favorites was a first cousin 3x removed, born in Louisiana (Florida parishes) in 1862, named "Union Belle". She went by "Belle" most of her life, from the records I see - not hard…
Jeanie McCully replied to Kathleen Fox Allen's discussion 'What's your favorite name?'
I also have a great-great-grandmother named Temperance - her nickname, from census records, apparently was Tempe. I love that the main character on the TV show "Bones" is named Temperance/Tempe!
Maybe we have the same ancestress? What is…
Mark Shelton replied to Kathleen Fox Allen's discussion 'What's your favorite name?'
I have a great great Grandmother who was called "Temperance" - not so popular these days..
Kathleen Fox Allen replied to Kathleen Fox Allen's discussion 'What's your favorite name?'
That is great - do you suppose his parents hoped he'd be a meteorologist? ;)
Sarah Ann Ashley replied to Kathleen Fox Allen's discussion 'What's your favorite name?'
My 1st cousin 4 times removed has the COOLEST name. It is Storm Harrison. Love it.
