If my daughter Hannah had been a boy, she was going to be Samuel Benjamin, which is a family name....

I've long been fond of the name Benjamin too (which I notice is number 26); in fact, I remember as a child sometimes wishing I had been named Benjamin. So your daughter, had she been male, would have had the best of both worlds!
But actually, I think everyone should take pride in their names, and I always coax people who hate their names to come to terms with them. And while on that subject, has anyone ever thought to revive some of the ancient Roman names? In the nineteenth century, one sometimes reads of an Octavia here and there, but, apart from a common form like Julia, Roman names seem scarce today, at least among women. I want to see someone revive one of my favorites--Scribonia.
