Grandad Harry's back for another year!
|
Thomasin...my grandmother's middle name was "Thomasine", named after her father whose name was Thomas. My cousin, to her great disgust, was given Thomasine as a middle name too! She detests it, but I actually quite like it 
I've seen variants on Thomasin such as Tamzin and Tamzen. I suppose it lives on today, as when I was growing up there seemed to be a few Tamsins around
A few ladies' names in my tree that I don't think have made it to the 21st century:
Emella
Jackett
Jacquid
Loveday
Dorcas
Cat
Fortunata
Mally
Jenfer
Ellezzabet
Alse
Tryphena

No one calls their new daughter Myra anymore probably because of Myra Hindley

I think Daktari single-handedly killed off Clarence as an acceptable boy's name!

Just thought of another, Hilda, Margaret Thatcher's middle name. The meaning of Hilda was appropriate for her, it means Battle maiden.
