My family has a long line of Jephtha (a man's name, alternating with Jesse) on my mother's side, and Aholiab on my dad's. (A minor prophet. Very minor.) Also sisters Ruby, Rachel, and Ruth; Etta Mae, Marinda, Matilda, Harriet Jesse (yes, spelled in the masculine, no 'i,' named for her father and grandfather). Lloyd Eugene (brother of H. J.) A grandfather was named Faye. Nieces Margaux Marinda and Claire Aviva. And a ten year old nephew named Ezekiel.
