Re: Unusual or Notable ancestor names in my genealogy
It's always fun to see Shadrach and Meshach. I love Meshach.These are most interesting to me:Alured
Annaclore
Arminda
Bartlis
Brida
Cornelis
Gertrudis
Kunigund
Lancelot
Marx
Oberle
Orris
Pennum
Philinda
Herodias / Heridias
Tymisinae - this looks much cooler than Thomasine to meI saw Thalis the other day in a record, so all these rare *is names are sticking out as a historical style to me. Orris might be my favorite as a masculine form of Iris (fyi another name for it is Queen Elizabeth root) and also is preferable to Horace imo (if it's connected to that).

Also I think these are nice names:Adelheid
Appolina
Balthasar
Barbary
Caspar
Daisy
Dorothea
Dorcas
Estiene
Felix
Elizabeth
Flora "Flower"
Irene
Hans

I feel like Israel was cool like 100+ years ago and still is abstractly, but now it's too in-your-face political. Though I guess not worse than America or India.I feel like I've seen Verena / Vreni a fair amount in records. Part of me wonders if that's part of why some people like Wren? They seem similar to me. The way Nova and Nevaeh seem similar to Neva. I wonder about things like that.

Shadrach was a father and Meshach was his son, unfortunately there was no Abednego thereafter lol
