Your posting caught my eye as I have an Arethusa Porter.The Porter's seem to love the unusual when it comes to names.Epaphroditus means fair or graceful belonging to Aprodite or Venus.The messanger who came from Phillipi to the apostle when he was in prison in Rome Phil 2:25-30, 4:10-18Paul mentions Epaphroditus in words of esteem and affection.While researching Arethusa I only came up with one other that was Arethusa Bigelow.When I looked up Epaphroditus there was an Epaphroditus Bigelow.So it looks like the Bigelow's and the Porter's have the same fasination with odd names.I also the a McClurkin PorterGood luck Bette Jo Gallant Davis
