With the Scottish naming habits it was very common for many women in the
family to have the same name !! I have found in my family that each woman
having the same name (grandma, daughter, grand-daughter, cousins etc) had
their own unique name to avoid confusion (some bearing only slight
resemblance to their real name)
Caroline

With the Scottish habit of changing ladies Christian names eg Senga for
Agnes does anyone know the original name for Jessie please
I doubt there is one. Using the same formula your result would sound like
"ice
age". Surely not! ;-)
