Just been reading a book by the amazing author Gervase Phinn who spent many years as a School inspector and said that some of the children he met had some interesting names. The names include things like Hadrian Wall and his father Walter Wall, Sunny Day,Holly Wood, Justin Finnerty, Annette Curtain, Theresa Green, Poppy Field, Innocent Bystander and a brother and sister called Sam and Ella.

Unfortunate names for children by parents...A few years ago I listened very often to the Police radio transmissions...Late one evening they pulled a driver for suspect drinking and driving....Beleive me,,the control room and other officers just curled up laughing....The drivers name was LITTLEJOHN THOMAS....Poor chap.....LES...

years ago when I worked at our local psychiatric hospital there was a nurse called Michael Hunt - one of the senior nurses was trying to find him when he walked past the office window - without thinking I called out "Mike **** has just gone past the window" which got the response "Well I've heard of throwing your voice, but that's just ridiculous" :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

still no luck with thomasin/a :-)

I did notice that there were lots of Thomas Tulips over the years in that area ............ I think it was a generational name, father-son- etc, but like you, I couldn't find a female version of the name.

I was intrigued by that "Male" on the FMP record.

That was supposed to be taken form the Register, I don't think it was an interpretation of the first name by the modern transcriber.

If only that was on the internet, or accessible!!!

I wonder how many Joseph Kings there are?

"Hello, I'm joking"

And there's a child's grave in our churchyard for "Wonderful Harvey". Maybe a blessing he didn't make it to adulthood and have to introduce himself as "I'm wonderful".
Or even "My name is Wonderful". "Really, what is it then?"
