Oh dear.  Very, very distant relation named a daughter Scandal 

[Billyblue]

I had an aunt named Theckla.  Strangely enough she was known by her second name, Annie     
One of her sisters was named Sergia. And another had the second name of Mercia.

And I used to know a guy called Orrie.  Not being able to work out what it was short for, I asked him. He said he was born on the ship "Orvieto" and so named!  No wonder he called himself Orrie.

In my tree I have a boy with the first name Erl-King, born 1895 on the Isle of Wight. Have never been able to find out how they picked such an unusual name

I don't have any really unusual names but I do have two women called Marie Antionette. I'm hoping they weren't monachists! Let them eat cake! (or brioche!)

Hi,

Have enjoyed reading this thread, avm228 once mentioned the name Treandaphelia and had not heard of it before.

Triantafyllia in Greek means Rose, so would imagine the name stems (sorry could not resist) from there.

Sharon.
