An unusual name...

[mirisa-ardruna.livejournal.com]

Upon scanning the local paper's obituaries the other day, I came across this name: Remembrance Faith Dowd. This was a 90-something woman, so I realize this is a roughly Victorian-era name from the rural Midwest, according to her obituary, but my initial reaction was something like "Remembrance? What kind of a name is THAT?!" Of course, it probably comes from the same school of thought that gives us names like Prudence (which I also don't care much for). Thoughts?

Was she born November 11th?

If she was 90-something, she was born before November 11 was in any way connected with remembrance.
