Just had to post this, altho this thread is so long I doubt anyone will ever see it.  This might be an example of what happens when they allow insane people to mate.  ;D

One of my grt gpa's brothers married one of a grt grt gpa's daughters and they named their children (in order):

Lessie, Jessie, Arthur(???), Heffie, Dessie, Effie, Bessie, Essie, Tressie, Hessie.  At this point they either ran out of inspiration, or whatever medications were available in the late 1800s started working, and they named their next 4 children: John, Eva, Florence, and John.

Don't even try to guess which ones were which sex...

Greer - Renfrewshire

Chisholm - Scotland
Wishart - Orkney
Shand - Aberdeen
Pirie - Aberdeen
