Interesting! Kezia and Thirza are new for me. I guessed Eliza thanks to the quiz author's name :)

The people who got these two must be descendants.

One of my ancestors married a woman named Kezia and she was called Kizzie. Back then in this area many names which ended in an a were pronounced as though they ended in a y. Martha was pronounced Marthy, Lydia was pronounced Liddie, etc.

A new featured quizzer - welcome to the club :) I'm a bit confused your profile says you live in Latvia but you don't seem to have visited there yet - how do you manage that?!

Thank you! I thought it would be cheating to list the country in which I live - not visited for a holiday ;-)

I think you're taking "Countries Visited" too literally. The whole purpose of the map is simply to show where in the world you have been. Have you been to Latvia? Of course. Therefore you aren't cheating at all. All that matters is that you've been there!

Yes probably you are right - now I have amended my map to show that I have 'been to' Latvia ;-)

I wonder how many Victorian squabbles were waged over the Harriet or Harriett debate.

Kind of astounded Victoria isn't on there. Or Abigail, which I'm sure I read was popular in the 19th century?

I was surprised about Victoria not being on the list. I wonder if it was improper at the time to name a child after the Queen?

The word abigail also referred to a lady's maid - not sure if it was that period or not, but it might explain why people did not want to use it for their daughters.

Queen Victoria began her long reign in 1837, so in 1850 she still was a young queen, not the glorious monarch she will be decades later. I bet there were many little Victorias born in the UK between, let's say, 1870 and 1900.

That was super tough. It helps that I'm in a European country where there are lots of weird girls' names that seem to come from the 19th century, but still very hard. When I guessed that Susan, Susanna and Susannah were all there, I knew I'd never get every variation of every name...

I wish the results were a little more giving. For example, I got Catherine, but not Catharine. :-(

I am sorry about that, but this is a decision by the Quizmaster when my quiz was featured. It is because there are so many variants of so many names. I hope you still enjoyed the quiz :-)

Reading 19th century novels helped me a lot (Austen, Little Women, Anne of Green Gables)

It would be reasonable to allow all alternative spellings of the same name to come up at once when one is entered. Harriott, really?

They were probably typing "Thirzadorpheus" and got lucky with the type-in.
