What's the oddest name you've found?

Schleswig-Holstein Sonderburg-Glucksburg, the present monarch Lizzie Windsor's real name! Don't let them kid you! 

Skoosh.

Under UK law, you are who you say you are unless someone can prove otherwise. Her majesty can back up her claim to be a Windsor with a matching birth cert - Jun quarter of 1926 St. George's Hanover Square 1a 583 - and no doubt any number of witnesses.

Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark gave up the use of his Greek and Danish titles before marrying Princess Elizabeth, heiress to the British throne

Of course dobfarm, Phillip took the name Mountbatten which was another invented name but due to political back-stabbing he wasn't permitted to pass this onto his kids so they used his wife's invented name! an inventive lot!

Pint of Schleswig-Holstein Sonderburg-Glucksburg, please?

Thought it also sounded like a Scandinavian / Norwegian / German Lager.

After you had 7 pints of it, bet the barmaid would have problems understanding what pint of you wanted- maybe sound like:- "Squilwig holisny soniburger gluckerbulger"    - hic-! - burp!

Not in my own tree (although possibly related to an 'in-law' of mine) but while checking the census index of 1881 for the wife of my g g/uncle (McGravie) prior to their marriage I found a...

Wingford McGravie (age 50) b c 1831

On SP (Scotlandspeople)

I'm unsure if it was a transcription error as he doesn't appear on any other index on SP as Wingford 

Annie

Add...1871 he's Wineford McGravy (age 32) b c 1839  & 1891 he's Winisford McGravie (age 48) b c 1843

Glad he's not mine as the window for his birth is very wide!

My 11th great grandparents Goddard HEPDEN [1550 - 1633] & Anne FRY [? - 1604] of Sussex, England were Puritans and as a result named some of their children:
* Retorne
* Goodgift/Godsgift
* Hopestill
* Fearnot
* Thankfull
* Constant
and then for a little light relief there was:
* John
* Elizabeth, and lastly
* Herbert

As an interesting name I have often wondered how the parents would have called to their child when the child was named;
* Shadwell Morley BARKWORTH
* Fulwar Charles Nigel Herbert Colquitt CRAVEN
