What is your most uncommon name?

[Quinn]

Twins back in the 1600's or 1700's on my husband's side of the family:

Silence and Submit Meigs

Patty

[Leigh P]

The most unusual name I have come across is on my husband's tree  - Uppington Bracee Barfoot born in London in 1804. The name has come down through the generations with a number of his descendants named after him.

I saw in an earlier message about Florence Nightingale. It was her older sister's name which always interested me - Parthenope - the ancient name for Naples, where she was born. As we always say in N.Z. - imagine having to write that around the inside of the gum-boots (wellington boots) - which is done so that the children don't get them muddled when at school !

Coudn't see if this one has been mentioned before.

I have two ancestors called 'GAD'

Not sure where that came from

My 6x great grandfather twice was called Cockerell Redshaw named after his mother Ann Cockerell and Joseph Redshaw.  He died in about 1810 aged 90!  No mean feat.  Was a yeoman farmer by trade.

I was actually looking for the in-laws of one of my relatives (honestly, I do have a life) and found a Sissevanna Bassett - mother and daughter.
When I entered it into a Google search I got Google-whacked - no hits!
I have no idea where this name came from - someone's over active imagination?
She was from East Sussex.  Silly Sussex, my mother would have said, being from there herself.
