Hi Claire,

I was just thinking it may well have been yourself who helped me find Marymerinday, I'm sure we've discussed the name before ;D

There's some amazing names on this thread, I don't have any unusual names in my direct line (only brothers and sisters), not that I've found yet anyway  ::)

Yes she's definitely the only Marymerinday in my tree ;D

Usually it's the usual naming pattern of John/Thomas/Samuel/Matthew/Benjamin/Frederick for the boys, and Mary/Ann/Anne/Sarah/Hannah/Elizabeth for the girls  ;D
