Wonderful ancescentral names

[CakeandRoses]

Just asked my father for a copy of our family tree to help (or hinder) our name selection. There are some amazing names on there and I thought I'd share some of the best ones with you:

Aurelia (and this has been my fave girl's name all along!)
Clementia
Ebony
Drusilla
Estella
TONS of Florences!
Gwendoline
Hephzibah
A few Lavinias
Lucretia
A few Mahalas
Margarita
Medina Honeybun
Petronell
A few Rosinas and Rosettas
Rubina
Lots of Tryphenas

Would love to know any interesting names you have in your family tree.

I'm getting a bit over-excited with some of these names! Our poor DC is going to have some shocking middle names coming his/her way if DH doesn't restrain me!

weasle - tis a shame dh has vetoed caleb. My cousin's DS is a Caleb and I think its a gorgeous name. Don't know any others either (other than the Kings of Leon chap).

Aw Frederick is great. We have it as a middle name in our family. Lots of Alfred Fredericks and Colin Fredericks. Also lots of names you just can't use anymore like Fanny and Willy.

DH's family tree turned up several Maggie Bella's. We loved it (and were seriously considering for DS1), but our families assumed we were joking when we mentioned it, which rather put us off.

We have some lovely names as well s some I personally wouldn'y use

Titus.
Absolom
Enoch
Solomon (actually I like this)
Tabor
Hiram
Malachi (love it)
Micah

Ophrah
Adinah
Josette
Rabah
Kezia (like this one as well)
Rivka

My maternal Grandmother was Desdemona (always known as Des). She was the 17th and youngest child.
