Has to be my Gt Gran, so far. She was Modhitt. The only other instances I have ever found are for her daughter Modhitt Vera May - always known as Vera and two nieces.
When I first started trawling graveyards - on my honeymoon, much to my wife's displeasure - I came across Eliza Body. It struck me as so funny I took a photo. Later I mentioned this to my Nan and she said "Oh yes, I knew her"!!
Most unfortunate name I have come across belongs to the three generations in Sheffield the most senior of whom was living at 90 Cricket Inn Road, Sheffield in the 1881 census ref RG11/4654 folio 62 page 32 with the other two generations at 21 Lovel Street, Brightside, Bierlow, Sheffield RG11/4663 folio 15 page 29. Check it out for a good giggle
