Yes; I find that by about the mid-19th century parents start giving their children non-traditional names i.e. not the usual Johns and Williams or Anns and Marys.
Lipman family of Aldgate - ends with Lewis Lipman (d. 1871, Bethnal Green), son of John Lipman 'late of Glasgow' (1856)
McGregor family of Fodderty - ends with Alexander McGregor (b. 1765, Fodderty), son of Murdoch McGregor and Kate Stewart
