Re: Names from my family tree (1800s-1900s)
Josiah's from the Bible, and is actually stupid trendy right now, at least where I live.Abednigo (usually spelled Abednego) also a Bible name, but as far as I know no one besides your ancestor actually uses it.Not only is Othello a masculine name, it's a guy who murders his wife. Not anything I'd want to name a kid, but it might work for some fictional characters. Othella actually sounds kind of nice, btw.I think I'd like more of these names if I could figure out how to pronounce them! Anyway, I like...Alta (for a mn at least)
Averilla
Abednego
Josiah (obvious,since I named my son this ten years ago before I realized everyone and their dog was going to do the same thing)Now I sort of want to name a character Abednego Othello. Too bad I don't have a plot or anything! :P
