Sharing with 52 Ancestors- this week's prompt is "favorite name", and I like Massure's name because it is so unique and I have never known or heard of another person with this name.

Massure was my 2 greats grand aunt, sister to my 2 greats grandmother Mary Melissa Myrick Sutton.

{just for fun...The meaning of the given name Massure represents compassion, creativity, reliability, generosity, loyalty and a love for domestic life.  The name Nara stands for seriousness, thought, intuition, intent and wisdom.  Which is all neither here nor there, but interesting to me.}
