[Opinions] Re: English Word Names of Scotland 2014
in reply to a message by Viatrix
Jersey and her brother Denim,perhaps? Argyle on both the boy and the girl lists is unexpected - for the record, it is a place name as well as a fabric design, and so is Paisley. And Roux is a surname and a sauce.
I'm getting very bad feelings about Godswill and Godstreasure. I can imagine them as premature twins who only lived for a few brief moments. Hope I'm wrong, though living with names like those could be tough unless they belong to a very specific kind of community.

You could be right about that. OTOH, I did know a family once who included 'yah' (short for Yahweh) into all their children's names (i.e., Jewelyah ['jewel of Yah'] or Rosiyah ['rose of Yah'] so it is possible that these parents (and it does sound like the same set of parents named these two babies) just preferred heavily religious names.
