Re: WDYTO these Mayflower names?
in reply to a message by Pie
If you're talking about Love, Fear, and Wrestling Brewster, they're my distant aunt and uncles. All of the unusual names had some sort of religious meaning. I've seen lists of Puritan names that had Fear-me-not-for-I-am-the-Lord or Wrestling-with-the-devil. I've also seen Love's name as Truelove, not just Love.

Interesting names and interesting ancestors to have.
