 ;D ;D ;D don't think any of my lot ever sold ice cream Skoosh. Most of them couldn't afford to eat it.

How are you pal, well I hope.

Quite liking clayton's Toinette, sounds a bit French and Scotland did have connections there.

Toinette is a girl's name, short for Antoinette.

Damn it! Pardon my French, Italian....no Scottish-Gaelic version here :D See Diagram:

Tunno/Autunno: autumn in Italian, per Google Translate (not my linguistic knowledge)

It is probably just a spelling derivative, as per quote, has been bugging me!

My first thought was Polynesian , but on looking at the date it cant be the case.

Then Latin took a turn and I noted  tu ' you'  natae can be 'born' you were born. 

But all in all what a strange name for a wee Scottish lass.  :)

Thanks for your input Whipby and dgibbins. It's her brother George I am more interested in. Her other two siblings ( or the one's I can find ) are just plain Janet and Barbara.
