I was doing a bit of research on the censuses into my 2x great Grandmother's brother. I happened to look down at the next household and noticed that the lady of the house gave her birthplace as Sibsey, Lincs. That's strange, I thought. That's where his Mum was born. And sure enough it appears it was his Mum who had remarried. But it was the husband's name that made me laugh - Peter Rabbett! lol. Have you got any daft names in your tree? Jeanette x |

Lol Joy! Now that would make me laugh if I found a haddock in my tree. Infact I'm not sure if I would be able to come on here and admit to it. Oh the shame! lol. You haven't got any have you! |

In chat magazine, on the 2nd page every wk theres a section called 'You called them WHAT?!' Its kids with weird/unusual names. One of the poor souls was called Damien Lucifer!!! I like something a bit different; my daughter is called Sharna, but thats plain mental. |

No, my only ''unusual'' name is SADD. I'll be interested to see how long this stays. If it stays, just like Heather TC's recently, I'll be even more sure about ''selective deletion''! :-) Joy |

I once worked in a maternity hospital and we had one mother who had to be disuaded from calling her daughter Theresa Green. Laughing at your B day reminds me of Verena Downs I was at school with - embarassing when she had to initial things espescially as she became a teacher. I have a Rosie Trolloppe in my tree who also sounds a fun girl. She was a bar maid as well. |
