I have enjoyed reading peoples unusual names. If I had been interested in family history before my children were born, my daughter would have been Kezia as I like this name and have two on my family tree born in the 1800s.
My second cousin is called Zeke. Like others I have Redvers but as a first name, Metford Uriah, Adolphus. Two ladies called Tressie, Aquila, Hagar, Mercy and Fortune.
In Somerset I have come across several girls called Lettuce, no doubt not pronounced like the green salad plant. There were several girls born into the travelling families, Penfold and Orchard named Defiance.
