These people are not part on my tree, but I came across them years ago. They were twin girls (fortunately for them, exceptionally good looking): Ima and Ura Hogg.

What were their parents thinking!

Perhaps they had a VERY warped sense of humour. I once met a lady named Hogg, she both looked and smelt like one unfortunately!

There's the well known female television gardener named Gay Search and also the BBC Radio news presenter Fenella Fudge (who I believe got married).  In fact, her full name is Fenella Mimosa Estelle Hadingham but married a Fudge.

In the south west of England there's a car firm named Dick Lovett.

Plus anyone with ancestors with amusing names doesn't want them to be from Fingringhoe in Essex.

Ima Hogg was born in 1882, the only daughter of Governor James Hogg of Texas.  She was a noted philanthropist.  Sorry, no Ura is to be found in this family.
