I also have a lot of females named Fanny. I know it's short for Frances, but you wouldn't get away with that shortening today!!!!! |

Don't think those two names are that unusual Debby, I've got that many of those in my tree I'm getting fed up of typing them. PC will soon be able to do it itself. LOL |

My G Grandfather's middle name was Raffell. My gran used to say his parents won him in a raffle! Don't know where it comes from, I haven't found any others with that name - not even a surname. Most other men in the family had Gideon or Cleveland or Gustavus as middle names - one even had all three! My G Grandfather on my Dad's side had George Washington as his Christian names! Sue xx |
