What is your most uncommon name?

[DianaCanada]

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.
Diana.

Breaking up is hard to do, but splitting the name into parts gives us Sisse Vanna or Sister Vanna or Vannia
(sounds Eastern Europen or could be Romani)
e.g. Vanna White

Might be Romani!  Sissevanna had brothers Orlando, Bethel and Augustus - sisters were the more prosaic Emma and Eva.

On one side - Anstice is a family name, so there are quite a few of those. Cephas French was a lad who married into the family.

On the other - Nurcott or Norcott, Wilson and Thirza. Norcott was the nephew of Nurcott, whose mother had married an Addicott - so "Norcott Addicott"

I have a Quinnevere Sydney.  And it's a female! Sydney isn't the last name.  I've never heard of the name before and can't find any informaion on it's origins.

I can only guess that it's an unusual form of Guinevere, with a particularly imaginative spelling!

How about Goldesbrough Clark?  She's female, since you ask!

(Rather like a Marmaduke Smith if you ask me!)

On researching a Rand in my husband's tree I came across a Rackabina Rand born in 1842 in West Ham - could be related!!  She was down as Pickbran in the transcript of the 1851 census!
