Maisie, My Scottish father accepted our son being named Scott David, at that time I didn't know of the surname SCOTT within the family lines, a James Scott KEITH was b 1897 (my grandfather's brother) this surname I have back to 1780 in LKS, David was for his father. When our dau was born he was absolutely disgusted when we named her Michelle Louise - horror!! French !! The headstones found on family Lairs in Rutherglen have weathered well, wouldn't I love to know if at least one of them was actually chiselled by my GrGrandfather Thomas KEITH. Our 3 grandchildren are named in part for their forebears, although as you say Maisie some chosen names set you thinking! Paris CAIRNEY ***, Grace MATILDA ***, Oscar DAVID *** - the CAIRNEY (var sp) going back to WIG/AYR early 1800s, MATILDA (early 1800s) was from my husband's mothers line and DAVID (my husband) given to our son and now our grandson - so in a small way, some of our family names are being carried on in the latest generation. As for the use of either rice flour or ground rice in shortbread, yes that is what I use in my recipe, my father, his mother Jane (Jeanie) CAIRNEY KEITH and his aunt Margaret Anne MILLIGAN CAIRNEY (WIG/AYR) never baked from a written recipe nor measured ingredients accurately to the cup or tablespoon so therefore I have no recipe books handed down to follow in their footsteps of scones, griddle scones, piklets and apple pies :-)) Happy hunting in 2011, Jenny
