HelpRe: Unusual or beautiful sightings from your family tree?
in reply to a message by (Is-rah-el) Israelle
If I was going to use an unaltered name from my family, it'd probably be Amzi, Azalea, Ruth, or Delora (all grandparents or great-grandparents).
But for a longer list including random branches (I fell down a rabbit hole one day clicking on connected names on findagrave.com)...
My favorites, most of which aren't that rare:
Isaac, Felix, Oscar, Ezra, Moses, Willis, Solomon, Elias, Elijah, Justus, Ozias, Estel, Casper, Cyrus, Lars, Perry, Gil, Julian, Ernst, Ezekiel, Jesse
Lucinda, Jemima, Patience, Virginia, Rebecca, Elizabeth, Veda, Arabella, Drusilla, Octavia, Roxanna, Charity, Cherry, Naomi, Geneva, Ernestine, Charlotte, Viola, Valeria, Adelia, Letitia, Rosabell, Safronia, Esther, Bena, Jennie, Daisy Odesia, Eulogia, Lemon, Meribah, Mariah, Magdalena, Elmira, Almira, Lily, Ivy, Deborah, Hazel, Sonia, Zadah, Verena, Prudence, Cordelia, Theodora "Thomas"
Weird enough they don't have a BtN name page (though a lot are in the submitted section):
Finis, Pink, Creed, Oath, Sharp, Emron, Rojas, Almond, Yandel, Luro, Phaltiel, Delmas, Rhine, Rosseau, Palace, Doctor, Hotspur, Lannis, Rodaniel, Oka, Odet, Columbus, Irby, Rixey, Vineyard, Eagle, Habra, Thorican, Williford, Gilliam, Artice, Fillmore, Glendall
Etoile, Etola, Virdie, Loveline, Vernelle, Obelia, Obedience, Neveline, Jency, Edney, Golden, Dathna, Pearnie, Henrie, Okie, Izella, Mandia, Melrose, Merliney, Waneda, Eari, Vianna, Melvina, Palethia, Idela, Euva, Belva, Erline, Myantha, Altha, Claris, Chieko, Ardis, Armeda, Almedia, Ludena, Elender, Holland, Eudoxie, Barbary, Sylvania, Missouri, Loulie
Also seem either rare or vintage to me:
Elkanah, Phares, Roscoe, Virgil, Galen, Armand, Eldred, Archibald, Kora, Otho, Dewey, Irving, Enoch, Elvis, Ira, Omer, Bertram, Homer, Otis, Napoleon Bonaparte, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Marion, Solon, Claude, Eben, Roma, Sherman, Elmer, Wilbur, Lucian, Leonidas, Cornelius, Ansel, Abner, Chester, Walter, Morris, Sylvester, Hiram, Harley, Harper, Jarvis, Gervais, Camillus, Shepherd, Roland
Mozelle, Agnes, Florence, Myrtle, Nova, Novella, Neva, Birdie, Pearl, Love, Lavinia, Zelma, Priscilla, Merle, Leona, Nona, Parthenia, Camelia, Rhoda, Ivory, Geraldine, Philadelphia, Flossie, Melita, Bonita, Juanita, Mamie, Della Irene, Nellie
The majority of these people I'm only related to very distantly or through marriage. Most of them lived in the Southern United States, if I remember correctly.
