Three Unusal Names From Cementary
I was at the cemetary today and I noticed three unusual names: Traugott (m), Isis and Hella. I also noticed a headstone with, I presume, a text in braille carved out which I thought is pretty neat for a blind person!

I love Isis and Hella. Not a fan of Traugott.

I like the name Isis, though it has some bad associations, and Hella wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the slang term, which I assume wouldn't have been a problem for Hella during her life. Traugott is interesting, though I personally don't love it.

Don't like any. Cool about the Braille

Isis isn’t that unsual; it’s had some popularity. Traugott and Hella I’ve never heard before, though. Hella is particularly unfortunate…

Traugott is German for "trust God". Hella is also German (and sometimes Danish as well) and is a diminutive of Helga.Isis is an odd one. Isis is a goddess of the sky in Egyptian Mythology.
