FAMILY NAMES

My father's name was Ralph Woodward Holt. His mother's last name was Woodward. My brother's name was Ralph Davis Holt and his mother's last name was Davis. My husband' name was Weston Ernest McEvoy and his father's name was Joseph Weston McEvoy so he was named after his father. I have great grandson named Weston after his great grandfather. My name is Edith Victoria Holt McEvoy and I am named for my grandmother Edith Florence Woodward and my aunt Victoria Davis. My mother's name was Gladys Evlyn Davis but I don't know who she was named for if anyone. I had a cousin Gladys and a daughter Mary Evelyn who are both named for my mother. Jean Elizabeth is named for my sister Ruth Elizabeth and Ellen Victoria is named for me. I have a niece named for me, Edith Louise. I have a daughter with the middle name Victoria, I have a gran daughter named Victoria and I have a great grand daughter who's middle name is Victoria. I have a grand daughter Laura Ellen who is named after her mother Ellen. Then of course there is Andrea Jean named for her aunt Jean. Nobody has used Mary or Evelyn. I don't think anybody has used Florence either. I guess we will have to wait for the next generation to use those names. Mary and I do like to pretend that Zoe's middle name Meredith if for us. We have a least 5 generations of Victorias. I think we just like to keep family names running which I think is nice.
