Names you just don't see anymore

[Cal241]

G a bit like Eccles Cakes  Dead fly cakes or where they 'beetles'   

[PaulaToo]

Stoned beetles, by the looks of it. Only question is, were they stone ground or pickled in alcohol? 
The mind boggles...............

But what a fab name though I love it 

[bevbee]

I have a Haddock (male) in my tree and I've heard of a Posthuma, so called because she was born after the death of her father.

Someone earlier in this thread mentioned Enoch - that was my grandfather's name, and Wendi mentioned Ambrose as a first name. Ambrose was a surname in our family, which was then used as a first name by members marrying and wanting to continue the name.

I know a Mercy and a Jolly!

I know a baby called Noah, which is unusual these days, and  recent new babies in the Telegraph births column are Calypso (female) and Falconer (male).

The Telegraph often has unusual names for new babies, it's well worth a look!

Has anyone else got a Bezaleel? It was my great grandad's name - no wonder everyone knew him as Basil

(That's him in the picture, by the way....)

I have aunties called Blodwen and Eilonwy - good Welsh names, but out of fashion now.

Noah is a very popular name here in America. I know many young children with that name.
