Using the names of well-known historical anscestors?

Guest

I'm very interested in genealogy, and I've found some very beautiful names, both for people who were 'nobodies' and people who have historical signifigance.

The main example for me being Judith Martel, a princess in the late 800s. I'd never even thought about these names before, but I'd consider using them together for a child. The same with the name Debrogera (a princess, then a queen, in the 600s).

So, what's your opinion on using names of historical figures who are on your family tree?

I Love them all, mostly! Sometimes they are the best kinds.
