I have twins Noah and Pharoah - not many biblical names rhyme.

My mother had a middle name Burch which was an old family surname and going back far enough I found a silver.  A worthy addition to any family tree.

We have the Christian name Wardrobe, and I've seen it elsewhere once, and I did know a girl called Theresa Green in Doncaster in the 50s.

Someone I know has the forename Leicester, because that is where he was conceived, he is just glad his parents didnt stay in Ramsbottom.
