Mashek must have been one relieved child lol. Must have dreaded being asked to spell the name.

A great uncle was named septimus.  One of my son in law's great uncles was an octavius and another great great was a decima.  We also had the surname coffin marry into the family. Her first name was Louisa.

A great sense of hum our or unable to think of any more names?

A relatively (no pun intended) unspectacular name, but my husband's grandmother's surname was Mandall-Hall. Given that they were all farm labourers, I was very puzzled as to how they came by a double-barrelled surname. Had to go quite a way back to find out how, and also found that they were once quite wealthy!

I think my great-grandmother's name, Keziah Pratley, was pretty good. I was expecting our first child when a great aunt told me about her mother's name. Keziah wasn't a name we were likely to encumber our unborn child with.

On consideration I have decided that I like keziah!  Sandra

Doesn't seem to bad to me now, but it did 33 years ago.    Not sure our daughter would have been impressed. No, change that. I know she wouldn't have been impressed!

Yes & they're all from Devon - the men were C17th/C18th farm labourers & Herbena's mother was a lacemaker (Honiton Lace) like almost all the women in their village.

There is a Septimus Satterthwaite in my family tree.  Lancelot is a very frequently occurring Christian name.
