What's the oddest name you've found?

I think in the North of England, the baptismal name "Doctor" was often used for e seventh child (or it may have been a seventh son). There was some sort of feeling that such a child would be gifted in healing, I was told.

One ancestor sibling married a woman called Spanisher Robson.

I have a relative whose middle name is Royal, as he was born in the year of Queen Elizabeth's coronation.

So was I, but my middle name is ................Elizabeth.  I'd have quite liked Royal.

Nothing really strange with my lot except the name Stewart being used as a girls name for a few generations.

Sharon.

I have a Willie in my tree who is a girl.  I initially saw it on the census (she's my 4xgrt aunt)  and wondered if either it was an error saying female or if it was short for Wilhelmina.  Turns out her name was just Willie, I don't know why.

Had a teacher whose middle name was Anzac, because he was born on Anzac Day.

I have a relative in my tree whose middle name was Anzac. His father fought at Gallipoli.

In searches of Coombs I found a lady called Catherine Eltham Coombs, born in Eltham, London. First time I found a person with a middle name of her birthplace.

Willie as a female name seems quite common in America. The great Willie Mae Thornton, also known as Big Mama, recorded the original "Hound Dog" and Robert Johnson fans will recognise the line "Wiliie Mae, you will be my wife some day"

Not an ancestor, but when working in insurance I came across a Victoria Plumtree. I also remember Raspberry as the middle name of a man.
