I think we should bring back some of those good old female names. Someone who rightfully bore one of those names would have more fortitude than almost any male Republican in Washington, D.C.

The female name Hildegard derived from the Old High German words hild (=war or battle) and gard (=protection) and means "protecting battle-maid." Brunhilda as a girl's name is of Old German origin, and the meaning of Brunhilda is "ready for battle".

My Grandmother wanted to name my Mother Hildegarde. When she was getting dunked the priest, a frog, refused the name and substituted Josephine.

My other Grandmother's family went through 8 or 10 generations of Abraham's came to an end with her nephew.

My Grandfathers family has had a William in every generation for at lest 500 years. My dear ex wanted to name our son Aaron Jason. I told her that he would grow up and hang around mens rooms, so I named him Craig William and my Grandson is CW2.
