What is your most uncommon name?

[ninkynoo]

Not an ancestor but my Grand-daughter has an unusual name.
She was born prematurely whilst a thunderstorm raged.A huge crash of thunder announced her arrival .Her name is Elaura-Morgan...briefly translated ,it means Spirit of the Morning.

Known to all as LOLLY.I don't think her Gt Grandchildren will have to look too hard to find her in future census'

I've just come across this surname in the 1891 census

  SCETTRIUS   Theodore A   

It kind of sounds latin - like a name from Rome - or its a spelling error.

This isn't one of mine but I wanted to share it with you all -

Valentine Porter - I've just come across him in the 1901 census - unfortunately ladies, he was a Grocers Carter but what a lovely name.

Thanks for the link. I love the old Worcester parishes where the ancestors roamed it seems a sin that the family migrated to the back to back courts of Birmingham from Ombersley Salwarpe. Holt. Kinver,  Feckenam etc
Still no sign of Grisegunne Horneblow's baptism or parantage though
Trees,

Grisegun Horneblowe sounds like a pseudonym for Groucho Marks
