lmao Shrapnell? Honking? oh dear lord... some of our ancestors names shouldn't be revived lol. You have to wonder what some people were thinking.

I have a MADORA in 1851. Paul

Followig on from the Beckhams, I taught 4 siblings named Clinton Carmel Harry Maddison Guess which film star their parents liked? Jay

I was telling the OH about this yesterday when he announced that he had wanted to call his son....... Heathcliffe Moss Needless to say is then wife wouldn't let him! There is a Cosmo Reuben (who is still in single figures) and a teenage Talitha in the family so in the distant future hopefully descendants will be glad of the unusual names! Bo

I work in a doctors surgery and we have registered at present. Levi, denim and linen ( all one family) Edward teddy Bear ( honestly!) Anastasia, christabella, tallula, lilleth Jenkins-jones ( what a mouthfull for 1 child) Robert roberts ( no imagination!) quinnell (your quess is as good as mine where that comes from) Honey Bee Halycion Days But the best is ....... Casper Ghost! I swear im not making these up !! LOL

Temperance lol!Suz

chief cook and bottle Washer Are the parents of Quinell (assuming he is fairly young) rugby fans - as perhaps he is named after Scott, Craig and Gavin Quinell all rugby players (6ft8' 20+stone so my colleague advises me!) Bo

Just adding a few of mine :0)))) Herodias, known as Rhoda Augustus, Adolphus and my favourite....3 generations of Zebedee!!

I've given both my daughters unusual first names, and they each have 2 middle names. Their ancestors should find them easily enough in years to come! I thought I had the unusual name 'Bath' for a girl in my tree...alas, the name was Ruth, it had been mistranscribed and taken as fact by my husbands 2nd cousin. I have an Obadiah Chrichlow, which is rather quaint, and a Redvers. My grandad was Valdis..but he was Swedish.

PS: My husband has a Septimus too, who was a 7th son. He had many children, so one of the boys was actually a 7th son of a 7th son.

I have Rememberance Hezekiah Ezekiel Lepeny Noah Amy Pheonix Plentiness Leonard john Buzzi and plenty more where they came from jackie

The theatrical empressario Squire Bancroft had a good selection in his family. He simplified his name from Squire Butterfield White Butterfield - Squire is his name not a title. In Yorkshire the name Squire was quite abundant in the 19thC. His father was Secundus, and his brothers were Hastocle and Gulielmus (=William). An uncle was Guilielmus Tertius. His sister was Julia :-)) -- Dave.

Orlando, all his siblings had ordinary names Ben, Sidney Theresa so no idea where his name came from in the 1860's ?

WOW! You lot really do have some unusual names - and I thought Napoleon Atkins was a mouthful. It certainly wouldn't have been particularly politically correct in the late 1800s either! I also have Hubert, Ivy Kythe, Winefride, Horwood Dunning, Dagmarr (female) and a Barton! Ellie

I have a Euphemia vicky

Brighton Early, Brock Lee, Chris. P. Bacon, Dick Burns, Don Key, Duane Pipe, Helen Back, Paige Turner, Tim Burr. Oh I do amuse myself!

Just adding for my own reference now , cannot believe some of the names in my tree !!!!

I have a couple of Sigismund's, a Perrotine, a Peronelle, two Douce's and a Suky. The worst is a Moyse who seems never to have been born but married with 9 kids. Just wish I could find his parents. He's been my brick wall for years.

The best I have is 'Happy Houchin'....I have no idea why.
