Remillion is my most unusal Christian name, apparently quite common in Kent Circa 1800.

   I expect there wil be a little crop of 'Endellion's now!

     
I was once reading an article about names that Travellers gave to their children, which tended towards the exotic. One mother wanted her daughter christened Beelzebub, but the vicar would not allow it so she finally settled for 'Beelzy'!

I have a Hercules.

   Poor ill-fated Tess (of the d'Urbervilles) married  Angel Clare in Hardy's story. He wasn't much of an angel, though, one rule for men and one for women as usual.
