Help[Opinions] Re: Some Obituary names
in reply to a message by Kinga
Sorry for you loss. Your family does have some interesting name; I've never heard of Tharcille (do you know how it's pronounced?) but I love Lucienne and Evelyn. "Tressie" is a nice nickname for Therese. I also like Mary, Joan, Donald, Clifford and Pearl.
Fun to see Charalampos in the obits; I was just looking at the one the other day when I searched for the meaning, "happy". Couldn't find it on Forvo, though, so not sure how to pronounced. Too funny that they shortened it to "Bob" rather than something like "Champ" (I realize the "Ch" wouldn't be pronounced that way, but it's there visually, as well as the other sounds.)

The family says Tharcille like "tar-SILL". I think Tharcille might be from St. Tarsilla. I find a lot of French-Canadian names from the past are forms of obscure saints. Makes for some really neat finds!
