Been reading the thread about twin girls named Diesel and Levi and thinking with fondness of some of the more exotic names that have cropped up in my research.
Gypsy families often have very different names. Cinderella, Freedom, Fairlander or Fairlinda or Pharalinda, Brittania are female examples. Goliath was a nice male one.
Just found a whole rash of Philadelphias (female) often shortened to Philly.
Whole family of H's Henry Humphrey, his wife Hannah and their children, Harriet, Hodiah, Heber, Henry, Hammoleketh.
Woman called Hamilton Campbell, I love that. Her mothers maiden surname was Hamilton. She is in Cath Kidston's family tree. Female Hamiltons all the way through it ever after.
Any interesting ones?
