I just started an account with Ancestry & was wondering if anyone else has found any name gems in their history?
Names I've found & love that I might be able to get away with because they "honor" family.
Clementine
Eloise
Gretje
Hazel
Olive
Ambrose
Asa
Hinrich
Wilhelm
The greatest gem (that I would never use) is
Barnabas
Re: Ancestry.com
Love, love, love Eloise. And for some reason, I kind of like Hinrich, too.
ETA: I've been meaning to tell you, I absolutely love your wedding picture in your siggy. I'm trying to find the right word to describe it, but can't think of it. But is has the same feeling to it as Taylor Swift's 'Love Story' music video.
My long list is full of names from my genealogy research.
Honora (one of the front runners for this baby), Estella, Olive, Esther, Muriel, and Winifred are a few.
This.

If you're wondering about my avatar...it's a fried pickle chip shaped like a fetus!
Thanks SpokenVows! One of my friends took the photo & I think it came out really well!
I traced Hinrich back to 1655, I haven't hardly been able to pull myself away from my family tree since I started it!
I tried to get my sister to name her first son Ambrose but she refused but I think it's great.
*Fixed my dumb autocorrect daily = family...

Diagnosed hypothyroidism.
That's really far back! It makes me like the name all that much more.
My aunt traced our family tree really far back. I should see if I can get the info from her.
men: Alexander, John, Donald, Nels (oh, and his last name was Nelson!), Edward, Charles, Robert, Anton, Alfred, William
women: Dorothy, Louella, a few Mary's, Carla, Marie, Addie, Adelena, Eleanor, Jemima (this one surprised me, she came over from Scotland)
My DH's side:
men: Cletus, Hollis, Anton, Edwin, Casper, Joseph, Jacob, a few Ben's, and my fave - Zeno
women: Augusta, Marjorie, Evelyn, Edna, Margaret, Edna, Margaret, Catharine, and a few Mary's as well
I have absolutely loved going through ancestry.com Because of it, I have even come in contact with children of my grandpa's brothers and sisters that I never knew about (so distant cousins) that live in the same state as us and a few in Colorado as well.

I've go tons of fun ones:

My uncle has an account and the new thing I learned from him is that a family surname (Cook) was changed from the German 'Koche' (I think that was the spelling.)
Anyway, I like that much better than Cook as a mn so I have it on my long, long list.
