Every day, for the foreseeable future, I will be posting about a unique name I found in a variety of genealogy and newspaper archive databases. You can find them daily on my Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram profiles. Or you can find them in these weekly roundups. Week #2 included such gems as Buttercup, Beauty, Fragrant, and Twilight. Enjoy!
