Shakespearean Names
Jessicas of the world, say hello to your namesake. Jessica was a name created by William Shakespeare for his plays. He was known for inventing very common words we use today such as swag, bandit, critic, dauntless, dwindle, elbow (as a verb), green-eyed (to describe jealousy), lackluster, and even lonely. Imagine how different languages would have been without him!
John Tyler Jr.
John Tyler is best remembered as the 10th president of the United States. However, by his family, he is remembered as a grandfather. That's right, this old man has a grandson who is still alive today. Lyon Tyler is admittedly very old, but still a line to the 10th president. History isn't always as far back as we might imagine, sometimes they're just around the corner.
