One of my Blue family married a George Lavender (of Lavender Bay in Sydney, for the Aussies).
One of their grand-daughters had forenames of Laura Lavender Blue - I've often wondered if she was as nice as her name sounds.

Not my own tree, but one I was researching out of interest in the son (Alvah Cook) was his mother - Araminta Axford.  Rolls off the tongue nicely.

It has to be said that the Ancestry transcriptions of this name did not do it justice.
