Along with the specific naming rules of each family, please keep in mind the time period (and place, as that will probably help) each family is living in. For instance, in the Wheeler family, a ‘Jack’ would be completely inappropriate; a ‘Jack’ might be appropriate for the Benjamin family, though; and only a ‘John nn Jack’ would be appropriate for the Cutler family.

---

There are only three families, and I tried to make them as different as possible, so that there would be few repeats in names. Let’s face it, though, there are certain names that are appropriate for all three families because they are universally timeless.

---

I’d love to do several rounds, but that will depend on the amount of response I get.

---

Happy Naming! :)

1691: Goodman Save-Thee Wheeler and Goody Hannah Wheeler are Puritans living in the township of Salem in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Shortly after Goody Wheeler found out she was expecting, Job took sick with a mysterious fever. Many in Salem whispered that ‘twas witchcraft that beset young Job. He came to brink of death, but, after fervent prayers, he was eventually recovered.

Goodman and Goody Wheeler would like to thank the Lord for Job’s health in the Christian name of their newest son. Their son’s middle name will be a Biblical classic.

1850: Lord Theodore Cutler was the captain of a “shipful of dastardly rogues” in Victorian England. In other words, he was a pirate. He was the younger son of the former Lord Cutler, and so, with a thirst for adventure, he set to the high seas. After he had made his fortune and become “Captain Cutler the Bloodthirsty” of the pirate ship Vengeance, he returned home, only to find his family estate had been passed into his hands by the passing of his father and brother. After the birth of their second son and fourth child, Theo retired from piracy.

---

Theo and Charlotte would like to name their third daughter after Charlotte’s mother, Elizabeth Mary (nee Ashworth) Weymouth, and her sister, Elizabeth Margaret (nee Weymouth) Blackbourne.
