What's in a name?

[craft1948]

I've seen it all now......just being doing some genealogy research and found a family in the 1901 census with several children, with names Fern, Daisy, and Vine...........their surname was Leaf.

[Bbbananas]

They did have a sense of humour back in those days then?

I'd have called the next one.... Fig.

[redman41]

Their Parents had a sense of humour craft......

[mollykins]

I know someone called Seal Flowers.

[craft1948]

rofl....in 1891 they also had Violet and Lily.....

[Greedyfly]

I once interviewed someone called Louise Trees - unfortunate!

[Greedyfly]

I like it - they have a theme going!

I couldnt believe it when I discovered one of our ancestors Easter Liddy Watson married a Mr Christmas, hence it came up on the next census as Easter Christmas. I found out later it had been transcribed incorrectly and should have been Esther. I have to laugh at some of the weird names Ive found. I tried to convince my husband that his descendant was called Annish Watson (Jewish?) and then on reading the census should have been Hannah.

1881.......Rose

[craft1948]

This family are just weird......the have a boy called Adams (not Adam)

[redman41]

What were the Parents called craft ?

[craft1948]

The father was just called James.....his 2 wives were Annie and Margaret but the names must have been his idea as they continued through the 2 marriages.

[craft1948]

I can't take anymore......he has called 2 of his sons Adonis and Nolana.

[Bbbananas]

My birth name was Trina Woods....

(tree in a woods - geddit?)

[merciasounds]

I went to school with a girl called Hellen (Hell on) Highwater......I met her years later she told me she'd married and I wasn't to laugh at her new surname - Flood!
