Question

Whose name was given to helen and why ?

Answer 1

Helen was given the name of her grandmother. Helen's mother wanted her to be called by her mother's name (Helen Everett).

When the minister asked , he just remembered that it had been decided to call after her grandmother, thus he gave the name as Helen Adams.
