Primus Pilus Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Congrats Spurius... How about a place name? Do you have lineage to Europe that you can trace. Perhaps name her for your ancestral home or a nearby landmark in its Latin name of course (river, mountain, city, etc.)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurius Posted December 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Thanks for the names so far, and there are a few that do hit a chord. Congrats Spurius... How about a place name? Do you have lineage to Europe that you can trace. Perhaps name her for your ancestral home or a nearby landmark (river, mountain, city, etc.)? Well my Dad was from Northern Ohio, and his family can trace its roots back through Missouri, Pennsylvania and New York...and, not kidding here, were of less than desirable status during most of that time (lots of jail time and running from law family legends). So I guess, American mutt. My Mom was from Pategorsk, near the Black Sea. Her family had several generation roots there...all Russian descent. She didn't go home after being taken as slave labor by the Nazis and met my Dad in Germany. So, that side is Russian from the Black Sea area. (Her name was Vera) I'll be bouncing the first of these off my wife tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 I assume your wife didn't like any of the names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sextus Roscius Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Congrats Spurius, I wish you blessing from sweet Fortune in your new child. Personaly I always had a strong attraction to the name Melissa (greek) but also Alexa Caelia (likely to be mispelled, and a paly off of the latin word Caelum) Roscia (after myself, but it sounds pretty, at least to me) I'm lost for others at the moment. Anyways, Congratulations Spurius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobias Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 If you don't mind me asking Spurius, how did the naming go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurius Posted January 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Her name is Mariann Elizabeth. You can read more about her in my blog. Merry New Year to you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Responding to Spurius' blog, I'm sad to hear that. I hope life takes a better approach for your family from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
