Male? Male? If this was taken from a birth certificate before they could think of a name then I'm not surprised. If this was taken from a death certificate / obituary and the corpse was unidentified than I'm not surprised. But if "Male" was taken from any historic record between birth and death then I am very surprised. And why include it in a historical society newsletter? Just . . . odd.Arden I've always thought of as a feminine name, as a Shakespearean reference. But seeing it on a male I actually think it's better there. I have nothing nice to say about the feminine list, except I am digging how many vowels Ioline's parents got into one name. I don't care for the name, but the "voweling" is stupendous.

Male and Female were there just to let you know which gender the following names were for. But, I did have a female band teacher in middle school whose last name was Mael, prn male. I didn't think that anyone would assume those were names. Sorry if I confused you.
