What's the oddest name you've found?

Is Coral considered   unusual or rare?

Unusual I would say.I have heard of a Coral before & i think there may have been an actress with the same name at some time in the past.

I have a relative with a 2nd name of Cheney

Yes it is odd the name Algernon but I think it is also an old name.I actually used to live in a place where there was an Algernon Street.

When my children were of school age the lollipop lady was a 'Coral'

Another odd one in my tree is Blandina or Blandy - there are a few odd ones in my tree and all came from Cornwall.

I think Cornwall has its own unique language so I would imagine there would be quite a few strange names

I've been asked to do a tree for a friend - gentleman in question is a Swootman Madgett who apparently later preferred to be known as Frank - not surprised!   His first name was a grandmothers maiden name.

Swootman Madgett - it sounds like a name that Charles Dickens would have used in his novels

Coral?  I have one in my own tree,  Unfortunately her surname was not Reef, Head or Bleaching.
