What's the oddest name you've found?

[CarolA3]

Another strange one;

GULIELMUS MCGRINE

Scottish Catholic Deaths (SP) 1861

Another more recent, know of someone forename Coral (beautiful) & Scottish

Annie, there was a Coral in an English village where I used to live - neither beautiful nor Scottish!  She was thoroughly unpleasant, and unemployable for reasons I can't go into here.  I wouldn't have cared but she wanted to be known as Carol, and people often assumed I was her

It took me a while to figure out why some of the locals were a bit standoffish.  A pity, as Coral is a lovely name otherwise.

(And no doubt you already know that Gulielmus is the Latin for William.)

Yesterday I found a " Equator Maria Oneida Brown"

[Maiden Stone]

Was Equator born on board ship by any chance?
A marriage in Cockerham, Lancashire late 16th or 17thC. Bride was Sweetlips. She had another forename. I'd like to know if Sweetlips was a real name or a nickname. If anyone has her in their family tree, please tell me.

I once served with an airman called Prickhard (not Prichard). His parents named him Richard. So, of course he was known as Dick Prick Hard.

My partner has three sisters as ancestors, Faith, Hope and Charity.  They were triplets, but for many years I didn't realise that they were triplets.  I assumed they were successive births.  I often used to wonder, if the third one had been a boy if they could have ended up as Faith, Hope and Trevor, before finding out that they were triplets.

Carol,

Sorry to have mislead you, the Coral I mentioned was born in Scotland, I didn't mean that it was a 'Scottish' name 

I can empathise with you on the mistaken identity scenario....

A friend of mine had a fairly unusual forename & there was another of the same forename who frequented same places as my friend.

However, said other was not too popular for different reasons which I won't mention but there were a few times my friend was mistaken as being the other presumably because only the forename was ever referred to, never a surname 

I may also have mislead you on GULIELMUS MCGRINE as I was meaning it wouldn't be common for researching although it does have a nice ring to it.
I think the Catholic Register was a clue to being Latin

The following name belongs to very respectable looking lady in one of my family trees whose demeanour is quite at odds with her name, which is Miss Fanny Monger.
