Family talk:James Houston and Nicolas Rae (1)

Is this perhaps an error? I've never heard of "Nicolas" being used as a woman's name. Q 11:00, 4 November 2008 (EST)

In 18th and 19th century Scotland, Nicolas was a fairly common woman's name. I have seven Nicolas Raes in my database and all of them are women.--Ron 22:56, 13 November 2008 (EST)
