Rather boring my bunch, the only diversion from the norm is Loveday, although her family made a good job of making it a common name at least where they lived lol. I did see someone called Hitchins while I was searching today.

Perhaps the Beckams and co have got the right idea giving their kids unique or unusual first names. Think how much easier they'll be able to trace by people doing their family trees in the future lol... Maybe we should all consider calling out children something strange........ What's the strangest first name in your family tree?
