Re: Devereux
Haha. I have some very distant ancestors named Devereux, and for a long time I thought it was just gorgeous and delightfully snobby. I still think both of those things, but I've decided that the Devereux's in my family are waaay too distant for me to allow myself to use it.I like it in the same way that I like Tippins--as an elegant surnamey middle name for a girl. But I don't like it as a first name very much at all.Hee. Octavia Tippins Devereux. Oh man.

I have ancestors named Devereux, as well. They're from the 16th century. I wonder if they are the same ones?

It's quite likely.My computer, the one with my family tree file, is in the shop right now, but my Devereux's are in with a whole mass of Edwardian English nobility that I was quite excited to find. Are yours similar?
