What's the oddest name you've found?

[Lostris]

Sarai Harridan - most unpleasant and apt name

I recently found a flowergirl at an ancestors wedding Bill Betzal, yep flower GIRL.

Willie as a female name seems quite common in America. The great Willie Mae Thornton, also known as Big Mama, recorded the original "Hound Dog" and Robert Johnson fans will recognise the line "Wiliie Mae, you will be my wife some day"

Nice to see someone else with great taste in music.

Billie Piper? Terrible singer, but a much better actress.

Billie I've come across before, and Bobby, but never just Bill.

[Geoff-E]

Age and birthplace were of course "N.K."

Going back to Ayashi's post,there was a local landlord whose surname was Bastard.I obviously won't reveal his first name,but all his customers thought it should be Robin.

I have a ancestor sibling who wed a Kerrenhappuch Prentice. A name very easily mistranscribed.

Spark Edward Adams - I was convinced it was a nickname that was put on the census for him, but no, he's listed on every census from 1871 to 1911 as Spark, and birth and death registrations are for Spark as well.

I haven't found a baptism yet, maybe the parents (who are a very ordinary George and Mary) just didn't dare....

There's a sister too - a slightly exotic Lucilla.
