What is your most uncommon name ? #2

[Dizzygirl]

I think the favourite name I've come across to date is Hender Cotton Cock.

Although I do like Barnabus Barkhm just for the alliteration.

Not on mother's side, Claridge family from Hunningham, Warwickshire, all other family names very ordinary, must look into father's side, Southgate from Suffolk

I am from that Claridge line, would love to make contact. Ruth

I've recently come across a Helewise de Plaiz.  Sounds foreign but she was born in Suffolk.

Helewise looks like an inventive spelling of Elouise!

You could be right, especially as in the past the people who could write, just wrote down words phonetically.  Elouise, as we now pronounce it, sounds so much prettier    Instead of a witch like person, she's now princess like.

Re Uncommon Names 2010, While browsing on my ancestor Esdras Giddy, I found this posting.  My line is from Thomas son of Esdras 1669-1726 and Constance.   I  have Edras Giddy 1640-1697 married Honour Prideaux (Prideaux family history very interesting)  Esdras Giddy(Giddye) 1602-1646 married Joan Yewens back to Robert John Gedye  and Joen unknown .Most interested in any family history and stories. My John Giddy was baptised at Mill Bay  in Plymouth Devon to John Giddy & Elizabeth Harvey . My great grandmothers brother was also called Esdras in 1861. Cheers for the New Year Palma
