sorry, I wrote my original post too quickly. I like finding references to 
modern descendents of 'names' in 'period' so what was interesting about the 
factoid to me was tjat the Digby family was 1) still around and 2) still 
naming sons 'Kenelm' as late as the 1800's, when the 11th baron was born, 3) 
still holding the baronetcy in this century when she was born.
