My grandfather's first name was Hilvardt.  When I do a google search I only find posts that were made by either myself or my cousin. 

My other grandfather's name was Garfield, much to the amusement of my children.  They ask if he was Garfield the cat

Neither of the following is in my own ancestry but they make good additions to the subject being discussed.

If one can include names that are not Anglo-Saxon in origin the following birth in the March Quarter 1980 in Lambeth was impressive.

Augustina Abena-owusuan Frimpong

And the following birth may qualify the owner as having the greatest number of initials. It occurred in the March Quarter 1920 in Gloucester.

BARNES, Penelope I. L. D. W. G.
Mother’s maiden name Miller

Most unusual in my tree is Beaufoy which is rare and seems to have been used as male or female. I've not been able to find anything on the name meaning or origin. Beaufoy was one of my Grt Grt Grt Grandmothers but with some great research from Rootschatters and a contact on GR I now have 4 Beaufoys in my Tree!!
We also had a family friend who was one of those 'unrelated' Aunties we all have named Boadicea, so named as her father was on the HMS Boadicea when she was born! Imagine being stuck with that all your life, she was more commonly known as Bodie

When searching for my Cowards in Dorset I found these Coward christian names, Keddella, Hiddella and Albinus.  Whilst looking for them and not part of my family I found an Ida Shave!
