Along the lines of surnames for given names, it really throws me to find that with unrelated lines. For example a name like Chapin Woodworth. Both are surnames I research but in my ancestry they didn't marry. For just a minute I think I've made a discovery! I do like unusual first names. That really helps track people. How about Galutia, Selah and Cirila for men and Salphira, Zillah, Waity and Halliet for women?
