My favourite name is Agnes Christie Malcolm Davidson, my Aunt and godmother, my Mum's sister and perhaps my favourite Aunt. My Mum was the eldest born to David Donald Davidson and Margery Smith. My Mums name was Mary and I assume it was after her dads Aunt Mary who was his next of kin during WW1 after his Dad died. My Mum had no middle name. My Aunt Agnes was born next and her name as mentioned was Agnes Christie Malcolm Davidson. Malcolm and Christie being family surnames this was also her grandmothers name. Agnes Christie Malcolm. I am intrigued as to why my mother had no middle name? All the other 5 children had middle names. I do find the naming patterns in Scottish families both helpful and confusing!!
Another name that I like in my family tree is John Sylvester L'Amy Davidson. This person is the son of my Great grandfather from his first marriage. Where did this name come from ? My Great grandfathers first wife came from Ireland. I have not investigated her family
( she is not related to me) and can only assume that it may be a family name on his Mum's side? perhaps one day when I have nothing else to do I will investigate.
