in reply to a message by thenightsnotover1
The most interesting family names that I wouldn't mind using, that would actually feel like they'd be honoring are Amzi and Azalea. Living (older) family with a name that seems sorta interesting, that I maybe wouldn't mind using - Hollis (f).
I'm not directly related to or knowledgeable about most of these people, but this is a longer list of names that stood out to me when I clicked on various linked parents/siblings/spouses of some relatives on findagrave a few years ago:
5x - Isaac
4x - Hiram, Virgil
2x - Homer, Omer, Finis, Otis, Felix, Oscar, Bertram, Willis, Thomas Jefferson, Napoleon Bonaparte, Odet/Odette, Moses/Mose, Elias/Elijah, Marion, Columbus, Pink/Pinkney
1x - Amzi, Elkanah, Emron, Emra, Solon, Solomon, Creed, Sharp, Rhine, Rosseau, Claude, Justus, Galen, Luro, Phaltiel, Roscoe, Artice, Dellos, Dallas, Delmas, Eben, Casper, Roma, Lannis, Thorican, Armand, Phares, Ozias, Eldred, Elmer, Archibald, Hotspur, Kora, Estel, Doctor*, Ezra, Ira, Elvis, Irving, Irby, Enoch, Sherman, Otho, Dewey, Rojas, Vineyard, Williford, Wilbur, Rodaniel, Oka, Gil, Gilliam, Neva, Lucian, Leonidas, Cornelius, Berry, Littleberry, Perry, Cyrus, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Fillmore, Ansel, Abner, Chester, Almond, Walter, Ezekial, Isaiah, Harper, Harley, Sylvester, Yandel, Habra, Cyrus, Lars, German, Roland, Camillus, Jarvis, Gervais, Shepherd, Templeton, a bunch of other surnames
4x - Mozelle/Moselle
3x - Ivy, Agnes, Esther, Maxie, Almira/Elmira, Jennie/Jincy/Jency, Lavina/Lavinia/Lavonia
2x - Lucinda, Jemima, Myrtle, Patience, Rebecca, Virginia, Vada/Veda, Verna/Vernelle, Love/Loveline, Nova/Novella, Neva/Neveline, Florence/Florentine
1x - Etoile, Etola, Meribah, Missouri, Virdie, Charity, Arabella, Obedience, Obelia, Safronia, Drucilla, Priscilla, Geneva, Octavia, Roxanna, Melrose, Loulie, Okie, Birdie, Henrie, Edney, Pearnie, Permelia, Zadah, Zelma, Delma, Merliney, Merle, Pearl, Leona, Viola, Viona, Vianna, Melvina, Valeria, Dathna, Nona, Adelia, Magdalena, Parthenia, Palethia, Naomi, Rhoda, Ivory, Delora, Ernestine, Geraldine, Philadelphia, Idela, Waneda, Eari, Flossie, Euva, Melita, Bonita, Belva, Ola, Ora, Erline, Mandia, Izella, Myantha, Mamie, Altha, Claris, Chieko, Ardis, Armeda, Almedia, Ludena, Elender, Daisy Odesia, Holland, Cordelia, Eudoxie, Cherry, Azalea, Prudence, Golden, Lemon, Eulogia, Barbary, Sylvania, Theodora "Thomas", Letitia, Rosabell, Mariah
I'm not sure of gender on these (I guess masculine?): Oath, Glendall, Palace "Pal"
*Doctor definitely was not a title; it was a MN
