For certain Christian groups, I believe this is deliberate, and indicates a close, personal connection to God.
Do you know the branch of your Quaker Background?
I remember a really complicated wall chart listing all the branches. Our meeting was unprogrammed and affiliated with Friends General Conference, which according to Wikipedia means Hicksite.
I was raised Guerneyite.
When I got old enough, and became very interested in learning more about my Grandparents I got more into the original writings of George Fox, and Robert Barclay's apology.
Round about the same time I studied Hermaneutics and got my first real looks into the history of the church beyond Sunday School and Bible Study.
It was incredibly eye opening, and my mother got quite upset when I read Elias Hicks writings and couldn't fully disagree with them.
There were three parts to the faith of the Society of Friends, the Bible, the Inner Light, and the Traditions.
Guerneyits chose the Bible, Hicksites the Inner Light and Wilburtes the Traditions. The writings of the early Quakers are full of wisdom and inspiring stories on how to be a good person, not the cookiecutter devotional stuff you read now, but people really struggling to try and do the right thing in a really messed up world.
I'm not going to let myself go on a two-hour binge of reading about historical Quakers, but just from a quick glance at some of the names you mentioned on Wikipedia, all I can say is "cool". And I agree that your GPs were awesome.
On topic - three centuries from now, though all the cell phones will long since have disintegrated to scrap metal, linguists will still be talking about the Great Txt-Spk Shift in 20th and 21st century English, when "Yuo" became the accepted spelling through common use.
That really means a lot, thank you.
