Unusual Baby Names of 2012

[KGarrad]

somebody on rootschat had found folk (I dont know if his ancestors or not); the parents must have a classical bent because they named the kids Unus , secondus etc//
Imagine the life septuagesimus (sp) would have led at school.

A quick search of the 1881 census finds many Septimus and Octavius, plus one Septuagesima and a Septuamus!

Wasn't it Arthur Haynes (with Nicholarse Parsons)?

One Septimus really helped my research - his name indicated that I had yet to find some of his older brothers.
Wouldn't a Septuagesimus have been born on Septuagesima Sunday?

On holiday in Nigeria in 1976, just after the end of the Biafran war, I came across a number of people with unusual names eg Hyacinth and Sea Breeze (both men), but the most touching were little two boys, Peace and his baby brother Thank God.
