Hi,

Until now I have not come across any unfortunate names, the only one is a female in my tree with the name Stewart, has anyone else come across the name Stewart for a girl?

Sharon

No, haven't come across a girl using a boy's name - but I do have four guys in my tree called Allison two cousins, then one of them married into a family who had two in their family.  Whilst they were all in the West Riding, they came from different areas.

As a variation on the subject, how about unfortunate initials.
I won't use his full last name because I'm sure he is still around, but back in High School there was a fellow names Vern Davi...........
We called him "disease".   Maybe one should say unfortunate friends.

My name is Beard hopeless when searching as I get all the long, grey, black and shorts.

Ron Sole; yes understandable he should sign thus. In Lincolnshire there is a village Mavis Enderby. This is also a surname, the male bearers of the name invariably hyphenate the two words.

Stewart for a girl

In 1840s Scotland, Stewart was almost solely a female name.  Found this some time ago while transcribing 1841 census.
