thank you so much for the page on Elizabethan Names. It really helped me name the characters in a story for college. Keep up the good work!

Q. Why are people names different?

A.  1. If you're referring to the fact that some people listed on this Web site appear to have two names, this is due to that individual either playing a role or character with a typical name used in the time period or portraying an actual person who lived in the past. This is generally part of "living history" or "historical re-enactment" and not only helps the visitor or audience member appreciate the history better, it assists the actor or presenter in assuming the manners and language (or accents) of the time.

    2. If you're referring to names out of the past being so different from names in our time, it may be best explained by the listings and articles shown on our "Names" page:

Thank you for visiting our Web site taking the time to write in our Commentary.

I am pleased to see that so many sites have shown interest in the Medieval times.

My thx to Michael Foster for his thorough treatment of thee, thy and thine. I teach a Sunday school class where we use the biblical pronouns in prayer to show respect to diety. I wanted to show my 11-year olds the origins and logic of correct usage. Again, thanks for your help.

Hello, I'm writing in regards to ask for your help. My name is Autumn. I'm a junior at my highschool and the club I'm highly involved in has decided to put on a renaissance faire. It is becoming evident that it is quite a big task. We have a reasonable number of people that are willing to help us, but it still seems so overwhelming. Our school tends to focus on the sports and neglect the arts. I really want to see this work, and bring some culture back into our school. Please if you have any advice let me know. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Sirs,
We have recently created a Web site that allows members to role-play and re-enact battles and various events of The English Civil War. The site aims to give re-enactors and people interested in military history a chance to virtually command regiments from the war, by communicating with fellow members via chat room, forum and email. We also have new features such as a classified adds area for re-enactors. If you would like to look at the Web site please feel free at:
        www.freewebs.com/englishcivilwarclub/royalisthq.htm
There is much interest from The Sealed Knot Society as well as the English Civil War and the English Civil War Association of America. I would love for you to show your members and hopefully join the club. We have just moved to a new Web site which allows us to expand somewhat, so we are looking forward to new interest.
Yours Sincerely
Leigh Johnstone
