Cornish Christian names.
« on: Saturday 01 August 09 03:48 UTC (UK) »
Hello all,

I have the following christian names...."ROTHA" and "VIMMY", both female, born to a mother from Stratton, Cornwall around 1920/25. These are very unusual names and I am wondering whether they may have cornish orgins? They do not seem to appear on any 'name' site.

FYI both children born in Norfolk, surname = Mutton

All help appreciated...
