Mum´s maiden name perhaps?
Otherwise, nothing short of child abuse.

While looking through the census records yesterday,I found a Coward Blackwell. The original record does look like this is correct,but surely nobody would caal a brand new baby Coward.

Ann, ROFL!!! A while back a few of us were musing that there were a lot of fairly recently made up names on the census!!!

I have a Mahalah Webster, I have since discovered that Mahalah was quite a common name once.
On the subject of Jones, my OH's cousin is doing his family tree and, in Ireland, his surname is Kelly and it was his mother's maiden name too. To confuse future generations his daughter, now married, has called her daughter Kelly.....!!!

Prince Breakspear is the best I have found to date on my tree!!

I did see that clip - hysterical!!

My longest & oddest is

Chedorlaemer Eggleton

You having fun Ann? and did you click? :-D...

Island I have a Hephzibah ( meaning in Hebrew..'my delight in her' )

.....also have a Gabriel, Garibalde,Labinia but no Fannys

I have a Hephzibah which is 'quite nice'

Fanny Seal :-0 - distant marry-in of course.

I don't have any long names, but have a Theophilus, 2 Dorcas's, Arminta and Harkless.

Lucy Tooth and Ann Till make me chuckle. :-)

I remember that thread Ann!! lol Some you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy!

The strangest name in my tree is Valdeis Pipe?

I recently came across a Fanny Freke, not in my tree thank goodness.

Ann I loved your thread, many a time my daughter and I would have a good laugh reading it. I did wonder what had happened to it. Honestly, some people have no sense of humour ;-)

Or my g uncle´s sister in law, Fanny Dry
