Mine are Elizabeth, Mary & Ann Lin xx

Charlotte - Mary and Ann (sometimes Mary Ann) lol

Mary, Elizabeth (and variationa of), They crop up in every generation without fail in some for or another. Mary as - Mary, Marie, Martha Elizabeth as - Elizabeth, Elisabeth, Eliza and Lizzie One family had Eliza, Elizabeth and a Lizzie all sisters - we think they were trying to please the grandparents.

Agnes!

I bet that got confusing sometimes Lunar, even with the variety of names we have now, I get confused as to who's who lol Lin xx

Sarah, Louisa, Mary and Rebecca

Elizabeth and Mary as everyone else but my favorites are Kitty and Daisey

Got Rose Anna or Rosanna going back to 1770's. But none in the present generation.

My tree contains - 52 x Ann, Anne or Hannah 37 x Elizabeth 36 x Mary 26 x Margaret 10 x Catherine. An unimaginative lot, my family - kept it up by naming me Mary Elizabeth! LOL CB >|<

Elizabeth, Margaret, Isabella

Mary also quite a few Elizabeths Ellen and Esther favourites

Love the name Elenor myself, have one in my tree, always think of Elenor of Aquatain (probably wrong spelling). Lin xx

Hi Ann,Eliza, Eliabeth, Hanna, Hannah,Mary, Mary-Ann,Sara,Sarah

I have: Margaret x 20 (plus a few Peggy's, Betty's that I haven't counted) Mary x 29 Ann(e) x 16 Elizabeth x 19 Not to mention a few Alice's, Louisa's and Jane's :-) Oh and a load of Hannah's too

Elizabeth, Martha, Mary, Anne and the ubiquitous Fanny in mine.

In one line I have 6 generations of Isabella/Isabel. Common names in my tree are Jane, Ann(ie), Emma, Eliza/Elizabeth, Mary Ann, Lily/Lillie, Selina and Sarah.

One female name which cropped up several times in my research which I love and find very unusual is Kezia or spelt Keziah. Does anyone know where it comes from or what it might mean? I have a couple in my tree. I would love to see that name return, probably most of todays generation have never heard of it.............I wonder how many of them would love to use it now?? Lin xx

Elizabeth, Mary, Jane, Sarah and Ann...........and Selina was used for 3 generations. Anthony............my eldest daughter is called Roseanna :-)

Hi Lin I think Kazia is Hebrew Don't know the meaning though Christine

I have two Kezia/Keziahs as well. I think it a very pretty name. I have heard people use the name Kizzy and wonder if this is the modern form of Kezia. I have far too many, Williams, Roberts, Johns,Francis's they all called their children not only after themselves but also after their brothers and sisters. I am having great difficulty in finding which Charlotte married which William. No wonder I have 'The Headache'.
