I recently visited Jamestown, the sight of the first colony in [name]America[/name]! The museum was very good! I really enjoyed it, but being a true name lover a blown up list of names on one of the walls caught my attention and I jotted down my findings, enjoy!

But, amoung all the typical Colonial names there were a few (awesome) surprises! Check it out-
Carrett
Samnell
[name]Kellam[/name] (last name Throgmorten, not exactly Irish)
Techu (last name [name]Robinsen[/name])
[name]Ellis[/name] (last name [name]Kingston[/name])
[name]Jeremy[/name] (last name Alicock)
My favourite name by far was that of one of the ship boys-
[name]Nat[/name] Pecock!
Interesting, no?
[name]Just[/name] thought I’d share, maybe get picked up for a future blog and nameberry, you are welcome to my discovery!
Hmm thats kind of cool. I read a thread about bringing [name]Kelly[/name] back for boys. I liked the idea but I don’t think I could actually go through with naming a boy [name]Kelly[/name]. This might be a nice alternative.
