I can't beat those two Amy, and I put these on the commonest name posting, but might as well do it again if the topic is splitting!

Mirwen/Murven/Mirwin - one person, different spelling every time I come across it!
Kezia

[Welsh Jen]

The only one more recent I can think of is my Great Uncle "Iori" (and no it wasnt Iorwerth just plain Iori) his brother was a Talfryn (Tall Hill)

Further back in the 1770's I have a "Husofut" this is the only record of his name he was the partner (never married) of Ursula Taylor. My Taylor line are just glad all the children took her last name!

~ The name has probably been changed over time and this is the only translation we have now. I am still unsure if this name is his Christian or Surname! 

[Hackstaple]

Mt GGGfather's sister was named Damaris - quite a pretty name.

Hi,

The most unusual so far is Cutting Bell

I remember my Grandma talking fondly of Uncle Cutting.  At the time I thought Cutting was his surname.  However, since researching the family tree, I found him, by the name of Cutting Bell.  I turns out he was named after the surname of his Grandmother (my Grandmother's Great Grandmother if you can follow that).
