What is your most uncommon name ? #2

[Indaloman]

How about Jabez and Nehemiah

[Bill749]

I've come across Jabez in my family, and Phineas, but the most unusual is probably Birket.

Thats spooky I have just posted a notice querying a possible name of Jabez

I've just been helping with a friend's family tree, and found a Longbottom family, the parents had 10 daughters in the 1840s, the first 7 were called very normal names eg Ann, Mary - but the last 3 were Florilla, Sabrina and Angelina.  Thinking this might have caused a bit of a stir in the neighbourhood, (Leeds) although Florilla was indeed a one-off, searching through various census I was surprised to find lots more Sabrinas and Angelinas to choose from !!

My dad's eldest sister was called Veve (Vev, Vieve) I don't ever remember seeing it written down. Her mother was born in Canada, so I think it is French-Canadian, and may be a short form of Genevieve,  although my aunt's name was definitely registered as Vev (sic)

[Josephine]

I've also seen the name Geneva.

Josephine

St John Lucky Sly Austin. one of my great (not sure how many greats) uncles.  I think his father was drunk?  Someone told me that Lucky Sly was a brand of tobacco?
