Hi all Just a question was anyone here named after someone in their family? I was named Janet after my Grampys aunt and Rachel after his mum (who until doing my tree were thought to be sisters ,but were in fact half sisters!!).My eldest has the middle names James after my husbands Grandfather and Lee after his dad and other son is Reid after his ggg grandfathers surname! My husbands is also Reid. Jan x

My poor hubby goes by the name of 'Marston' (first name). His mother is insistent it's an old family name (no details were ever forthcoming though!) but I think he's named after that brewery 'oop north'! Anyone heard of it before?
