I've just found a relative of my OH's whose name is so close to the name of my eldest it's spooky. Eldest doesn't have a common name.......... wonder if it was this lady was encouraging me to name her after her ......... Anyone else found this in their tree?xx

nothing other than the usual names like middle names coming from an older relative

altho we do have some lovely names that i wish i new before i had the kids

stray
xx

I found an Elisha in my tree dating back to 1801 i didnt know this when i named my youngest Alisha was well spooked when i found it.

if i had done my tree first

stray would be called tamar

stray said stray is just fine xxx

Oh forgot to say i named my kids middle names purposely after members of my family

My eldest is named after my maternal g grandmother

My son after my dad

And Boo after my grandad but the female version

I was named after my 2 grandfathers

My grandaughter was named after my mum and her paternal gg grandmother

I come from a long line or Errols

pmsl @ Errol. xx

I have been brainstorming with Clare and we were both gobsmacked when we found the name. OH who isn't usually taken with things like this was shocked also. xx

I'm just a little concerned having found the marriage records for Errol the Goat and Errolette the Ewe - could there be a skerrolton in the closet?

The fact that their offspring was called Louis the Llama certainly raises some interesting questions lol xx

You know my cousin?

He used to sell bottled water through the streets of London with my G G uncle Edward lol..

No word of a lie actually My G G uncle was a bottled water salesman who walked around with a llama.

Odd bunch my lot lol xx

Your uncle was a geegee with a pet llama?
You are not right and I take back all the sentiments written on your Christmas card for you are no friend of mine. Oh how I pity, weep even, for your family.

Lmao.

I know ewe don't mean it Errol lolololol xx
