Whilst doing some more research into my family tree this morning, I just found a new relative (related only through marriage):

[name_u]Valentine[/name_u] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] [name_m]George[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] (born 1877 in [name_u]London[/name_u], [name_f]England[/name_f])

[name_m]How[/name_m]'s that for a name!?

2

That’s an amazing name!! It’s super long but actually flows nicely. Is [name_u]Gray[/name_u] the surname?

3

I have an uncle [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]. He goes by [name_u]Val[/name_u], but I love it.

4

I know right! Yes [name_u]Gray[/name_u] is the surname.

5

I have another [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] in the family (that one is blood related) and I hope to use the name as a middle name some day. I really like [name_u]Val[/name_u] too!

While I love [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u], [name_m]George[/name_m] and [name_m]William[/name_m], it feels a bit too long for my liking :stuck_out_tongue: It is very handsome sounding though, I wonder if he was [name_u]Val[/name_u]-en-teen or [name_u]Val[/name_u]-en-tyne?
