People tend to think of family names as being a male thing but there are several female given names that go back through the generations. Parthenia is the most unusual one in my bunch.

My son's middle name is my wife's maiden name. He also has another middle name that is my grandmother's (MSRIP) maiden name. We had anticipated that he would be born on her birthday; that was before the nightmare delivery from hell that I thought would never end. He ended up missing her birthday... but by then we had already decided.

His first name is Biblical: Matthew. At the time, we didn't know any Matthew babies... but I guess half the parents in America were thinking the exact thing at the same time, because it turned out to be quite common.
