What is your most uncommon name?

Sometimes an unusual name can simply be an error in transcription. On one of the census indexes my 2x gt uncle Mortimer is listed as Martiner.

I wonder if anyone can beat this one - Kerczhappack!  I found her whilst looking for my Bullus ancestors, she is married to a John Bayliss & on the 1851 census in Birmingham HO 107 2061 pg 18. I was trying to work out where she was born, but, can't decipher it.

It's probably Kerenhappuck (she is to be found under that name in the 1841 census in Bromsgrove)

Although very strange to our ears it seems that Kerenhappuck was not an uncommon name, as a search of births on free BMD will reveal.

She was one of the 3 daughters of Job http://www.rootschat.com/links/05g1/

Thanks Trees & Jenb - it's really interesting about the name & where she was bornI expected it to be some far off country with a name like hers!  I don't think she is my relative as I have a John Bulllus b18312 who married Rhoda sometime between 1851 & 186, but, have been unable to find their marriage in the Worcestershire/Birmingham area.

Could this possibly be the marriage?
June Qtr 1857 Dudley district 6c 68
John BullAs and Rhoda Linten

there are however two men and two women so it needs checking
