I thought I'd make another, follow-on, thread as the first filled up quickly and was so interesting

So, what’s the most unusual name you have ever come across in daily life?

Hawkeye

No clue to the origin of this name

He was a villain turned hero created by Marvel comics around 1964. He was one of The Avengers and so may have appeared in some of the Marvel films they have been making over the past couple of decades. I think they made a Marvel action film called Hawkeye too.

Hepzibah. I know it is biblical but I have met someone with the name. I also knew a Hercules and an Achilles when I was a child.

As pp said, Hawkeye was also a character in The Last of the Mohicans, which was written in 1826 and so predates the Marvel character by quite a bit!

KirstenBlest · 08/04/2024 08:28

Last of the Mohicans for me too.
