HelpRe: If you had to name your child after a person
in reply to a message by Jude
Kinda gets a bit complicated on the names I love that happen to have historical figures tied to them, and the names I love because of historical figures.
Beatrix (Beatrix Potter)
Rosalind and Elsie (Rosalind Elsie Franklin; such an amazing combo)
Sylvia (Sylvia Pankhurst)
Rosa (Rosa Parks, also could maybe do Rosalind nn Rosa and do a double honouring)
I actually had and am considering again, Beatrix Sylvia Rosalind on my list for those women, and because I just love all three names.
Elizabeth (Tudor/I springs to mind first, since I've studied her the most, but of course there are loads more)
Ada (Lovelace, wouldn't mind Lovelace as a middle maybe for a more normal or popular name)
Horatio (Nelson) Not particularly for the association, although I do think qualities like dedication, determination, and courage very admirable (I think there's a admiral pun there somewhere haha) and important, but I did first hear and start to love it because of a history audiobook about him.
Francis (Drake)
Albert (Einstein, Prince Albert; he and Queen Victoria are one of my favourite historical couples)
Wolfgang (Mozart; I also have Amadea on my girls' list and like Amadeus)
Leonardo (Da Vinci)
Ptolemy (Claudius Ptolemy, and the pharaohs)
Beatrix and Horatio actually happen to be two of my absolute favourite names, partly because they have a good deal of history behind them. Also there are probably way more I just can't think of right now.
I guess as a sibset I'd go for something along the lines of these:
Beatrix, Horatio, Sylvia, & Ptolemy
Beatrix, Horatio, Amadea, & Ptolemy (if I cheated a bit)
Horatio, Amadeus, & Ptolemy
Beatrix, Sylvia, Elizabeth, & Rosalind
I'm drooling over these, also missing studying history.
