Re: How to pronounce this name
I had an uncle name Aloysius...
...my family tells the story of one of my great uncles whose name was Eurastus...
Those are the kinds of cool "old" names that you don't see any more. I wish they would see a resurgence in use.
I have ancestors with first and middle names like Weir Aurelius, Amos James, Lewis Felto, and Leweir Lovell. They are very unique and "old timey" to me, and I just think they're cool. I'm guessing that my grandfather, Leweir Lovell, didn't care for his name much, though, because he went by "Pat" (for his last name, Kilpatrick).
It's the same with my grandmother. She has a beautiful name, Ila Virginia, but she goes by "Janie".
