Help[Opinions] Re: Grandparents' sibsets
in reply to a message by Ohad Yigal
Interesting. I don't know enough about the cultural context to comment on how they fit in.
The ones that stand out to me are Yardena, Wasi, Zion, Nissim, Gavriel "Berry", and Amram.
My favorites are Yardena, Tzofiya, Gavriel, Nissim, Wasi, Ines, Naomi, Sonia, and Moshe.
My grandfather had aunts named Viola and Sonia. Some other family names I remember mentioned in connection are Moselle (Mozelle), Lily, and Veda.
These are my grandparents' sibsets. I think they're fairly typical for the time and place.
Born in the southeast US in the 1920s-1930s...
Delora
Loveline & Emlin (twins, died as infants)
Vernelle
"Frankie" (I'm unsure if he had a different official name)
Noel "Ikie" (I think the NN is from their surname)
^parents: Noel and Dorothy "Dot"
Loretta
Fred Jr "Steve"
Gordon
Page (m)
Carol
?? I'm not sure there's not another.
^parents: Carrie and Fred
Charlotte
Evelyn
^parents: Ruth and Rixey
Neil
^parents: Jessie Mae & Bertram "Elias"*
*I think Bertram was called Elias sometimes, but I get him confused with his dad whose name also included Bertram, so I'm not sure.
I don't know all of the MNs, but some of them are Azalea, Amelia, Miranda, Camellia, Elizabeth, Everett, Bertram, Stephen, Earnest, Emron, Fillmore.
