Subject: RE: BS: Women's names -- the virtues
The Unready was King Ethelred. Rede means counsel or advice - he was labelled Ethelred the ill-advised. We have some interesting female names in our family tree - starting in 1802. The first and last are OK but the others are unusual: Harriet, Hezekiah, Hazael, Heli, Hareph, Hezro, Helebath and Helen! Their surname was Holden and they were all sisters, living in Surrey! Harriet's son was the one who came to NZ.
