William and George .................. except .............. way back in the 1700's and early 1800's, loads of seriously biblical names like Jacob, Jonah, Abraham, Amos ......... I've even got a Noah and a Gabriel!! As the names don't appear in later generations, I guess the family must have gone a bit heathen! Bev x |
