What's the oddest name you've found?

[Geordie daughter]

A day or two ago I found a Salmon Mash Beart in a census return; the birth registration also gives that as his actual name, so not a mistranscription!

i speaking to my cousin jestina-d at the moment she seems to think that her faith , hope and charity were  early 1900 but needs to look at it . she seems to think their moms name was  coleman. sue thinks the  connection was another  daughter was alice possibly 1862 who married a patrick tuffey

Bearnan -- I also have triplets named Faith, Hope and Charity in my tree, born in Yorkshire in 1803 and all died with in a few weeks.  The names sound as though their parents held (justifiable) fears for their survival and wanted to hasten their admission to heaven.  Are those on you friend's tree surnamed PEARSON?

Thank you for checking Teddygreen1

I guess if a church-going family had girl triplets Faith, Hope and Charity was the default position for names.

Cheers,
Jestina

You can tell I am addicted to genealogy with the following question. Where was this birth as I have Beart rellies from Suffolk?

I have also come across people named Deliverance.

No more addicted than the rest of us!!!! The answer to your question is Jun Q 1875, Ipswich, Suffolk, Coombs. He's the son of Frederick William Beart and Kezia Annie nee Vinall. If there's a link to your Bearts please do let me know: he's a descendant of James and Hannah Beart of Wickham Market and I've been slowly but surely tracking them all down.

On The Genealogist I found a surname transcription that is a swear word. Not my job to report it though.

Not odd but these names are appropriate for their bearer's occupation.
Robert Chippendale, joiner. Mary Chippendale married a carpenter.
 Father of William Leatherbarrow Askew was a husbandman.

However James Fishy, butcher, was in the wrong job.

 Mary Corless was careless when she conceived her illegitimate son.

Is that the name from royalty or nobility that was usually referred to an illiegimate child!  I actually had a boss once with that for a surname, so they're around. He was actually a really nice man, not at all like his unfortunate name, but he did pronounce it slightly differently, with the emphasis on the last syllable! 
If this is the name you mentioned, pop it into the surname search. http://www.surnamedb.com

A little like some people who have the surname Death.  (Pronounced De'Arth).
