So many great names here. I have personally met a Mahogany, came across a dedication plaque for a Fuchsia, and have a cousin named Jade. I have considered Claret, Russet, Auburn, Sapphire, Hyacinth and Emerald in various combos.

The Power of Names: More Than Just a Label

By
Names hold immense significance, serving as the foundation of identity and the thread that connects individuals to their heritage, culture, and personal narrative.  They are much more than mere labels or a series of letters—names carry the weight of familial history, traditions, values, and aspirations. A name is often the first gift a person receives from their parents, imbued with love, dreams, and hopes for the future.  But why are names so important?

Colonial Names for Boys and Girls

The Freake Limner (American Colonial Era Painter, active 1670-c 1680) Mrs Elizabeth Freake and Baby Mary 1674 British Colonial America was a very important time in our history. They are the ones that started it all with a sense of freedom and independence.
