Re: names ahoy
Ahhh these are all fantastic, just my cup of tea.
Love Hanspeter & Josie on a dude, used to work with a Vreni & it's great to see Aud, & wow, Zina Ignazia, it's like fireworks!
Also I just looked up Snjólaug and it seems to mean something like 'snow bride' which is rather wonderful: http://www.nordicnames.de/w/index.php?title=Sni%C3%B3laug
Cremilde is kind of nice, and reminding me of a Victorian woman I came across last week called Creamaleanouss - not a mistranscription!

Creamaleanouss - I wonder what the story behind that is??I thought Snjólaug must mean "snow woman" or something along those lines - I really like that one too!

I saw it and immediately thought it had been written down wrong and must be something else, so I checked her out, and lo, she was Creamaleaness at birth, Creamaleness in the census and Creamaleanouss at marriage. Pls to invent me a time-machine so I can interview her mother and find out wtf it was all about?
There were brothers: Alphonso de Lamartine, Vanburen Randolph and Alonzo Leonidas. These are pretty startling for Victorian England.
And a sister who died as an infant, not giving me much data, but she's down as Orianna Bernadeen Canawayleanna. @@!!

Alphonso and Alonzo as brothers - amazing. Orianna actually got the most boring name!
