GIRLS
Aubertine - the woman's middle name, but the name she went by (she also used the pen name Auber). Really rather remarkable. Annie Aubertine Woodward Moore.
BOYS
Appleton
Durán- I'm familiar with this as a Spanish surname, but this was the first name of a man born in Colombia.
Effingham
Ehrman
Gouverneur - this man was a jr, as his father was also named Gouverneur
Hersey - this spelling
Lonzo
Loveland
Mirza - or Morteza, I'm not sure if Mirza was a title or type of surname (in the frontal position). This man was from Iran. General Mirza Morteza Khan, Momtazel-Molk.
Montrose
Platt
Prince - hardly the only person named Prince ever born, but I'm fascinated by the use of this as a first name. This man was a physician who graduated from Princeton College, Kentucky
Read - another middle name that the man went by
Richards - the man's middle name, but the name he went by
Rollins
Stanton
Veranus
Welton
Wilhelmus
Robert Frost's poem "A Cliff Dwelling" reminds me of the people who must have lived here "Oh years ago--ten thousand years" and enjoyed the beauty and safety of a cliff. A place "to rest from his besetting fears". Welcome to mine.
In 2014 I featured a series of blog posts introducing you to 2,014 names. For the most part they were names that were brand new to me as well. Some names may be more familiar but I found the meaning or origin or some other aspect of the name made it worthy of inclusion here. You may love some of the names, you may hate some, but hopefully you enjoy learning about all of them.
