What is your most uncommon name ? #2

My several times Great Aunt -   Fanny Shufflebotham. I still laugh out loud whenever I see it.

Today I have found an Amphillis Russell who has a daughter and grand daughter named Amphillis Willets.

Descendent of Amphillis are Uriah and Enoch Hill.

I have a direct ancestor named Orange- yes, like the color- Riley Sproat. Riley was his mother's maiden name, but who... why.. how did he end up with Orange for a first name!

One of my relatives was named Pickles Hartley Wolfenden.  He married another Wolfenden in 1908 but she had the less colourful name of Ada.  Pickles' father was also named Pickles.  It is a surname in the area (Settle, W.Yks.) and another relative of mine also married a Pickles in Clitheroe.
Have yet to dig deeper to find out of Pickles and Ada were related.

Gertrude Georgeanna Wallaker, her married surname was one of the most commonest in the UK.

I have found Kerrenhappuch in Suffolk a few times, a biblical forename, but quite rare.

Just found a relative's marriage in Hastings in 1821.  The rector's name was Webster Whistler.  The bride had the rhyming name of Ann Dann, the second one in my tree.

Not in my family but while going through some church registers recently I came across the delightfully named Faithful - son of Mr & Mrs Friend.

Not in my family but while going through some church registers recently I came across the delightfully named Faithful - son of Mr & Mrs Friend.

I have a Faithful Street Brundrett. No other "puritan" names around him.

The surname appears in two widely separate parts of my tree. I've traced both back to the same village in Cheshire, but they don't join up - yet.

My kids have a female ancestor named Thankful in New England but well after Puritan times.
