Help[Games] Re: Rachel Shay's Family Tree Congrats Round 1
in reply to a message by Rachel Shay
User Name: Rowena
LN: Akiyama
DH: Minoru Takahiro (25)
DW: Lilja Eydís (23)
DS: Moses George (4 - February 18, 1901)
DS: Nathanael Clarence (2 - July 6, 1903)
DD: Priscilla Harriet (NB - June 30, 1905)
Minoru and Lilja both converted to Christianity when they first moved to America. Because of this they named their first child after one of their favorite people in the Bible, Moses, and George after their next door neighbor/doctor who helped Lilja with the delivery.
Nathanael was again taken from the Bible and Clarence was the name of the husband of the midwife who helped Lilja give birth (are you seeing a trend?, lol). George, the doctor who gave birth to Moses, moved away before this baby was born.
Priscilla was taken from the Bible and Harriet was the name of their midwife (the same one who helped give birth to Nathanael).
So, Minoru and Lilja wanted their children's names to be extremely American and not necessarily reflect their past heritages. They believe that their children are born and true Americans so they do not feel the need to remind them of where their parents came from. The parents names will do that by themselves.
