Hey

 I kinda like the names Arianwen, Ashsa or Akasha for girls, for lads more simple ones like James, David or Max. Me I was Harriet May for about 3 days (My Dad did not like it, and the nurse put my mother off by the way she said Harriet!!). So I ended up with Corinne  ::) and I gave myself Rhian as a middle name when I was 8!. Although it's not as bad as the names my sister was going to give my niece; Morgana, Angharad I believe, she ended up being called Rhiannon.  My ancestors on the other hand all seem to be called Caroline, Catherine, Margaret, Elizabeth, Mary or Sarah, John, James, William George, Joseph or Daniel!.  A little change now and again is a nice suprise!  ;D

Just yesterday I recvd. info. on a Lancelot Stansted Mountfitchet D'Arcy, a very grand name for the son of an agricultural labourer.
Born in the area which is now occupied by Stansted Airport and named after the hamlet of nearby Stansted Mountfitchet I presume.

Named after their birthplaces, I also have;
Leicester [forename], Cambridge [middle name], Moffat [forename] and Jersey [forename].

Anyone else have any?

My full name is Janine - which I absolutely hate, SORRY Mum & Dad!!!!  I started using Jan when I began senior school and that's what everyone calls me now.  My Dad keeps using the Janine and it drives me mad.  I've no idea why ???

My family tree however are full of very ordinary names: Richard, James, John, Anne, Jane, Joseph, Thomas, Mary etc etc.

But I do have a Reuben, Zipporah, Cecilia, Millicent, Martha & one of my favouriites Phoebe.
