While researching our family history I ran across names that were told all my young life.. America, Tennessee, Maryland.. the family named their daughters after states. This always fascinated me. Ran across the very names of Aunt Mec, Aunt Tennie and Maryland and found brothers Lafayette and an ancestor's name Napoleon Bonaparte. Found these ancestor's births, marriages.. Would love to know the parents ideas on names .. all born in late 1800's. Plus, while looking through cemetery lists.. America, Tennessee and Lafayette had neighbors on same mountain with shared names !! Wonder what fads our children will find later in life as they research: Navaeh, Apple, Piper, Scout. :0)
