What are some cool names you’ve collected from your family tree? I’m really into genealogy and I know this is a place to find beautiful treasures you’ve never heard of before!

You have some GEMS in your family tree! I thought my family was cool having 3 Pleasants. [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] and [name_f]Easter[/name_f] are way cooler!

[name_u]Christmas[/name_u] and [name_f]Easter[/name_f] were also sisters-in-law which makes it even better! 
@eattacosforbreakfast [name_f]Idella[/name_f] has grown on me! I’m not sure I’d ever use it myself though

I’ve contemplated it, but S/O and I aren’t quite sure it’s right for us 
There’s SO many family names we’d like to use and likely won’t have enough babies to use them on

Some of the more unusual names are [name_f]Avis[/name_f], Adelise (also spelled [name_f]Adelais[/name_f] elsewhere in the family tree), [name_f]Adela[/name_f], [name_f]Petronella[/name_f], [name_f]Amabel[/name_f], [name_f]Ivetta[/name_f].
I have a great grandmother called [name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f], which I think is pretty. Also have ancestors called [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Edith[/name_f], which I will likely consider for baby names if the opportunity arises.
