Re: Graveyard Names
I was at a cemetery last week, and there were lots of interesting names, including a male Winter born 1853.Cleopa reminds me of Cleopas, to the point that I might think of it as unisex. I don't really like it.Allene seems like Eileen, Elaine, Ellen, or a feminine Allen.Eulee is kind of cute actually? It reminds me of Julie, Eulalia, Jubilee, which are bubbly yet traditional seeming for the most part.Ottie Bell sounds cute too...it's cool to imagine as a great-grandma's name, at least.Zebedee has a nice sound and is obviously religious.I far prefer Magdalene to Magline, but I understand the desire to simplify names.
