HelpRe: Unusual or beautiful sightings from your family tree?
in reply to a message by Manipura
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:
Moses, Willis, Solomon, Elias, Elijah, Justus, Estel, Cyrus, Ernst
Jemima, Patience, Virginia, Veda, Arabella, Drusilla, Octavia, Naomi, Ernestine, Charlotte, Viola, Valeria, Adelia, Letitia, Rosabell, Safronia, Esther, Daisy Odesia, Eulogia, Lemon, Elmira, Sonia, Verena, Prudence, Cordelia, Theodora "Thomas"
Weird enough they don't have a BtN name page (though a lot are in the submitted section):
Creed, Oath, Emron, Almond, Phaltiel, Delmas, Rhine, Rosseau, Palace, Odet, Columbus, Vineyard, Eagle, Williford, Fillmore, Loveline, Vernelle, Obedience, Neveline, Jency, Izella, Mandia, Melrose, Merliney, Vianna, Melvina, Palethia, Idela, Euva, Belva, Erline, Altha, Claris, Ardis, Armeda, Almedia, Ludena, Elender,Eudoxie, Sylvania
Also seem either rare or vintage to me:
Elkanah, Roscoe, Virgil, Armand, Eldred, Archibald, Otho, Irving, Enoch, Elvis, Ira, Bertram, Homer, Otis, Napoleon Bonaparte, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Marion, Claude, Roma, Sherman, Elmer, Wilbur, Lucian, Leonidas, Cornelius, Ansel, Abner, Walter, Morris, Sylvester, Harley, Camillus, Shepherd
Mozelle, Agnes, Florence, Novella, Neva, Birdie, Pearl, Love, Lavinia, Zelma, Priscilla, Merle, Leona, Nona, Parthenia, Camelia, Rhoda, Ivory, Philadelphia, Flossie, Melita, Bonita, Mamie, Della Irene, Nellie
I have noticed you have a nigerian name and some typical African American Slavery-era names on the list. What's your ethnicity?
Omer is a very common Israel masculine name, though it is sometimes given to girls.
