Colourful names on your tree

[Galium]

Richard George Davis Frampton Frampton.  Why did his parents feel the need to add an extra 'Frampton' ?  He also had a nephew named simply Frampton Frampton. 

Not in my tree, but a name on a gravestone I used to walk past in Preston cemetery has always fascinated me: Xenophon Moscrop.  I've looked it up on Ancestry and IGI, and there were several of them.

I have "Treasure" for a boy and "Albion" for a girl in mine.

Of course for us Grace family members, there always the risk of a Grace Grace.

Normal names can be colourful too. I was confused for years by a Frances marrying an Eli - could never find a marriage, until I realised it was a Francis marrying an Elly or Ellie.

Nothing as exotic as others, but my gt gt grandfather's middle name was Perfect.  Don't know why, and all his siblings had 'normal' names.  Must have been a beautiful baby I suppose!

Looking for my Henry Greenwood ancestor, I found a possible candidate staying with his sister Hannah, whose married name was Pickles.

One of her children was Greenwood Pickles and her mother was Lettice Greenwood!

Think they must have been trying for a salad

A distant cousin of my mother had the given names of Algernon Excelsis Francis.  In the 1950s he was a long-distance lorry driver.  He was once stopped for speeding and the constable asked him for his name, this he duly gave.  The Officer said “No, your real name.” To which he responded “It is my real name,” and handed over his driving licence.  This was studied and, as he handed it back, the Officer said “On your way, mate.  With a name like that you’ve suffered enough already.”
