The family was from Essex, and they actually lived in a village called St Osyth. Apparently my ancestor Osyth Joslyn was born on the 7th October in 1464, the same day as the feast day for the Saint Osyth. I have a theory that the family must have then known the lore, especially for it being the namesake of their parish.

Perhaps I will use Osyth/Osithe someday...

Also, because I love mythological names Dyonisia instantly became a guilty pleasure because of its similarity to Dionysus. I agree nearly not as interesting as Denise.
