I have a three brothers called Shadrach, Mesach and Abednego in my family tree.
They were all sons of a preacherman ==figures-- and died in infancy -- to save themselves from having to spell their names at school, perhaps.

I know it's not that unusual, but my g g g granny was a Comfort Phelps. On marriage she became Comfort Close which I think is rather lovely. She had a daughter named after her otherwise she would have been entered into Censuswhack

I seem to remember from my school history lessons that the Puritans were always good for an unusual moniker. One I recall was a guy named Praisegod Barebones.
Does anybody know when this sort of thing went out of fashion?
