Christmas was a fairly popular name in Wales during the 1800's.
The most well know one was Christmas Evans, who was regarded as one of the greatest preachers in Welsh history. He even has a mention in the Encyclopedia Britannica (11th edition)

Good morning,

I have 3 Fanny's, 2 Philadelphia's, 1 Carralina, 1 Carkett, 1 Rose Henry plus a couple of others I don't recall right at this minute.

But my favourites aren't in my tree but are the doctors who did my vasectomy many years ago. A husband and wife team called Dr's Ball and Ball.

Your post reminded me, there was an Indianna in my husband's extended family.  I wonder how common it was to name children after the States in America.

Carolinas must be a dime a dozen.

I've got a Montana in my tree [distantly by marriage].  The same family had a Lakota, also.  I wonder how often Native American names were used - e.g., William Tecumseh Sherman.
