Hi Jass,
I like the discussion but I also like it when my arguments are being read. There are as important as yours are, right?
My example (Vortigern) was immediately post-Roman britain. So your argument about comparison with modern names is not to the point.
The modern example was of course tongue in cheek. Oh and, it's my sister who I mentioned, not my mother.
Quote:I'm not fooled by anything, I'm making an important statement as to what we know of the culture of classical Athens. The comparison with modern names is facile and unwarranted actually given the different parameters:. It's is nice that your mother is named after three queens to whom, I assume, she is not related to directly and that two of those names are Semitic while you and your family (assumptions) are Germanic but you don't get patterns like necessarily.
