My cousin's Grandmother's name was Wilhelmina Vida Sabey.  Her father was William so I thought that perhaps she was named after him, sort of.  It was such a mouthful of a name for a wee girl.

Gosh Stan, those are  weird.
"Oh come and be faithful---gerrin fer yer tea" has a certain ring to it!!!!
                                                                                 
                                                                                Viktoria.

Reminds me something I read before I got my cat.

Never name your cat or dog something you wouldn't be comfortable shouting across the neighbourhood late at night

Actually we called our cat Max so he could be the second Maximilian Child in the family some 400 years after the first one died
