Re: My Parents and their Siblings. WDYT?
I love the name Edward! All the names of the siblings from your dad’s side strike me as very classic, strong names. Randolph sticks out a little, to me it seems like a very American name, whereas the others less so.
I like Belle a lot, and from your mum’s siblings I love Alice. Melva intrigues me! It seems familiar but still refreshing. I like to hear Geraldine and Claudine, and Alrita interests me. It’s also interesting that one of the children was named after the mum rather than the dad, I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen that before but it’s also refreshing!

Thank you! Actually my Aunt Frances was named after my grandmother (Her mom) and her grandfather my great grandfather was named Francis. So it was an honoring name. I'm not sure why they didn't give the oldest son my grandfather's middle name. But I guess they had their reasons.
