Names you just don't see anymore

Names you don't see anymore...well in my case never seen this one before;

Ferinda...there are three in my family , and I still can't find out where it comes from.

Someone had called their boy child Woodbine on one of the census....well that's what the enumerator wrote down anyway

We also have a few Manships as a middle name, girls and boys  ...well they were Mariners.

Far too many Eliza's and Elizabeth otherwise.

Blimey - Maud Maudlin Maudling sounds like one of those latin learning verb things like amo amas amant....

Had forgotten about this thread but last night I was adding more details to my family tree and remembered this family:
Theodosius married Jane and had: Esther, Leander Starr, Eldridge, Alonzo, Adaniran Judson, Alfred. Leander and 2nd wife Augusta had: Charles, Jane, John, Gertrude. Somehow I wonder if 1st wife Jane isn't to blame for some of those names.
Among Jane's relations there are girls: Angelina, Agnes Dunvegan (named after the castle on the Isle of Skye), Lillis, Ermyn, Ilda, Orinda, Garnet, Zaidee, Lillian Minerva, Hepzeba, Selena, Druscilla, Seretha, & Brasileira Faith (born in Brazil) and boys: Zenas, Basil Primrose, Ashton, Brenton, Waldron, Osborne, Zoheth, Cyrus, Horace, Enos & Crofton Uniacke.

Basil primrose -- do you think that was being used for a boy or a girl ?
