In my Williamson family, some of the women were called THEODOSIA (or gift of God). My mother's Gt. Aunt was Theodosia Mary. Nice name I think.

Hi, Mobo,
How strange, my gt-gt-grandmother was Mary Theodosia, the other way round to your ancestor. I was just about to post this on when you beat me to it. She was baptised Mary Theodosia in 1830 - I wonder whether there was a topical reason then - Theodosia certainly doesn't feature in the current top 50 girl's names published this morning in my paper!

Like Ryan, my favourite girls name is Lily, I just think it's really timeless and beautiful. Haven't found a Lily in my tree yet, but hoping I will just as another excuse to use it if I ever have kids! Think my nan might have had a sister named Lilian, but that's not quite the same.
Other names I think are nice are...
Girls: Elizabeth (nan's name) Bee (just think it's cute) Sky, Kitty, Iris (old fashioned but still lovely) Phoebe.
Boys: Rhys (welsh roots) James and Joseph (grandad's brothers)

My wife has a couple of men in her tree whose Christian name was Friend. I always think of it as a solid comforting name. They were both from Yorkshire so maybe its a local thing there. One of them died in WW1.

How cool Rachel! I'm pleased you love Lily as much as I do. Nice choice with Rhys by the way.
