If you'd been in the U.K. it probably would have been more well received. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Bouvier sounds awfully French to me, and you know how the English and French are about each other. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Think it would be accepted now. I have an ancestor who was a male named Shelah. That must have been hard! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
