Horrific names from your family tree

[Fantail]

We have been working a little bit on DH's family tree lately. There are some names in there but none more horrific than a little boy in the 1800s named Ethelbert who grew up in East London.

Have you come across any in your family?

I have a Cruickshank, Mathilda, Violetta, Prudence, Edgar, and Salem in my family tree.

Lucinda is definitely not horrific!

My name.... Janine

I have a great great great aunt waho was called Appelina which I used to think was hilarious, but now quite like.

Not so much unusual names but my gran is completely in denial about her Jewish family roots. My mum has done the family tree and will pull out names like Issac and Rachel Goldberg (tailors) and my Gran will say stuff like ' don't be stupid of course they aren't Jewish'
