My great grandmother's name was Zella.
My grandmothers were Faye Belle and Elfa (!), and I had female ancestors rejoicing in the names Rosebud and Albertina Alaska . . . so you can guess how glad I was when my sister had an Abigail, and then an Emma-and-Elizabeth duo.
My grandmother's name was Wilmer Beatrice.
In the south that's "bee-AT-tris"
She was known as "Billie"
God rest her soul. But what a terrible name!
