Hi - I've got an Isabella Golightly in my tree.  I think that's a lovely name - I'd probably waft around meadows picking wildflowers if I had that name!

Hi

I have a Arthur Mario Agricole Collier Galletti di Cadillac which is a bit of a mouthful he married into a family who had members such as Septimus, Lancelot, Gee Gee and Jinks to name a few i like Jinks though it was a girl and i think it sounds more like a boy and Gee Gee is sweet.

Its nice to find the meaning of Hepzibah i have 3 in my tree and always wondered about it

Maisie,

I have several Isabella Golightlys in my tree.  Would be very interested in comparing notes to see if there is any connection. 
One was baptised in 1775, a twin of Margaret, and daughter of George Golightly.
A second was born about 1831, daughter of George Golightly and Isabella Rippon.
The third was born in 1857, illegitimate daughter of Martha Golightly.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Roberta

Hi all'

Happy New Year :)

I mentioned on another thread about one in my lot called Atlantic Seaborn, named for obvious reason, quite common for immigrants to NZ to be named for a ship.
My husband went to school with a lady called Phillipa Crack, not sure what the girls parents were thinking ::) I bet she had no second thoughts about taking her husbands name when she married!

I 'spect they were thinking "seems like a good idea" at the time!  My mother swears that when she was in hospital having me there was another girl born the same day to a Mr and Mrs Carter - they apparently called her Orsen  :)
