Re: Finding Your Roots ...... and other names

I find it funny that you marked Vasiliki as feminine because to me that name is as blatantly feminine as Elizabeth or Mary are in English. But that's just me. I can see where confusion might happen so you were smart to mark it.
For some reason I find myself liking Almond. It's fun. I love Basil (it's actually the anglicized masculine form of the aforementioned Vasiliki), and Stamatina was my great-aunt's name. It's all right. Idesa is cool, and looks maybe Hebrew? I don't know, I'm out of my league at languages there.
Aretta reminds me of arete, the Spanish word for earring, but it could also be a variant of Aretha.
