My mom just took my three-year-old, [name_m]Reuben[/name_m], to a family reunion. One of the relatives had gathered old photographs and as many names and dates he could find from our family tree(s). Turns out, there was a [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] in the family born 218 years before my [name_m]Reuben[/name_m]! Stranger still, old [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] had a brother named [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m], which was the name we’d planned to give our [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] until he was born and we decided it didn’t suit him. Old [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] and [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]’s siblings were:
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_m]Abel[/name_m]
[name_m]Armon[/name_m]
[name_f]Polly[/name_f] (possibly [name_f]Mary[/name_f])
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_m]David[/name_m]
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_m]Newbury[/name_m] (a boy)
[name_f]Esther[/name_f]
I was surprised by the mix of names. Some seem like they’d fit right in nowadays, while some seem very much of the 1700s/1800s or much earlier.
I would consider using [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] (of course), as well as [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Tillie[/name_f]). [name_m]David[/name_m] is my son’s middle name, but for my dad, not for [name_m]David[/name_m] from 1808!
