Many years ago when Tony Blackburn did a morning show on radio 1, he had an odd name competition where you had to produce a birth certificate to prove validity. The winner was Percy Pitchfork.

I have just been looking through a tree on Ancestry posted by one of my DNA matches and she has an Ida Burger marrying a Richard King. The marriage took place in 1876, long before the fast food restaurant chain was founded. The couple lived in Leboeuf, Erie Pennsylvania.

A Fanny Brain as an ancestor's sister. I may have mentioned this before in this thread though.

Lots of Glasscock's in Essex. Lucky none of their parents ever liked the name Ivor.
