And for the bonus question:
A bonus question: Who in your ancestry has a very unique name? Tell us - amaze us with the creativity of your ancestors!
I think I'll go with Tamasin Ireland, the wife of Rev. Nathan Ward. To be honest, I really don't think of names being unique after years of doing genealogical research. I've not encountered a lot of people with the name "Tamasin" though. Most published sources state that her father was Abraham Ireland. I blogged an interesting story about Abraham over a year ago.

Tamesin is a name that has been handed down in my mother's family for generations. It has evolved into Tamerson and I came very close to being saddled with name. Dad's family won the day and I was named for his grandmother instead.
I don't know if a name like Tamasin is a blessing or a curse, but I do know that you probably wouldn't be able to find any of those "junky" vacation gifts that have names pre-printed on them for that one! You'd have to go the "custom" route!
