Herselia, etc.
in reply to a message by Bear
Thank you, I was wondering if Herselia might be intended as a feminine form of Hershel or such. Don't find a forvo pron. for it; would it be an "ee" sound in the middle?I loved Irene Augusta, too, and I'm not particularly drawn to Augusta, generally.I'm guessing Blood is probably a family surname (where the 1871 published line of my 4th gr grandmother was really big into Puritan and obscure names, this 1888 published line of my 4th gr grandfather is just wild about surname names); I could also see it as a sort of "virtue"/religious name.
