The last names look better  :)  From the Vic CDs
Evelyn Sherlock Father Saml mother Susan Chambers born Essendon 1904 ref 10080

So the registered name appears to be Evelyn (or there is a mistake in the index). Perhaps she was baptisd with a different name

My great-grandmother was named Emily Caroline Ethel.  She used the name Ethel throughout her life.  Why she chose that when she had two perfectly lovely other names to pick from, I have no clue  ::) ;D 
Perhaps "Ethel" was a fashionable name in the early 20th century (great-gran named her daughter Ethel too, in 1907) and ladies adopted it?
