Colourful names on your tree

[MrsLizzy]

Researching my husband's tree, I came across a relative who rejoiced in the name of Duke Shrapnel, and another by the name Bishop Ford.   

What colourful and interesting names have others found among their ancestors?

Hi

Golden Jeffels is my all time fave up to now

Poor old Golden must have come in for some ribbing in his life!  We were surprised to find that Duke Shrapnel was his real name - we thought the Duke part must have been a nickname at least, but no!

Riverina Emma Simpson, named after the Riverina area in NSW, Australia.

but she called herself Emma in later years, what a waste of what I think is a beautiful name.

Heh, I was very impressed to find a Hugh Willoughby Hawarden, only to have that at least met (if not entriely trumped) by going back a generation and finding Reuben Hawarden. How far up the most popular boy's name list "Reuben" was in the mid-19th Century I have yet to fathom....

I've a Prince Snow in my tree.

[Ruth_T]

I like the Prince Snow, so far Redvers Buller Herod is the most unusual I've found.

[Comosus]

Roberts Marmaduke Demain, or perhaps Deidamia Parker.

While looking for possible children of the Aunts of my Grandmother I found

Willoughby Hooley Allcock

Urban Francis Allcock

Royal Iving Allcock

I also found Urban Richards so was this a common name in 1890's or just a Nottingham thing
