Many years ago I was working in a non-English speaking part of South Africa.

Some of the local children were given African names; many were given Afrikaans names (especially Johanna) and a few were given very random names, apparently because the mother liked the sound of the word and the meaning was neither here nor there.

Hence I met children called Chancellor: Chocolate: Yogurt; and Cupboard.

Rawson (Leicester)
Upton (Desford, Leics)
Partrick (Vera and George, Leicester)

I have an ancestor baptised at St Mary's Islington in 1830 Elizabeth Filler Idle Surrett. The birth took place in the workhouse, but the mind boggles what this was conveying about her mother (no father named) at the time of conception.
