You would have to wonder what the parents were thinking of calling their daughter Ida when their surname was Larke. |

I love looking for daft names (often with just cause, just in case you think I'm sad and don't get out much) |

When I worked in the Post Office one of our customers was a Mrs. Balls, sadly her name was Rose (Rosie Balls). |

There was a long running thread a while back which had lots of odd, funny, unfortunate, and downright rude names and mistranscribes from the records. I can't find it so it probably got removed. It wouldn't get beyond the first couple of posts now thanks to the report button. |

The best one I´ve seen in parish records was many years ago in West Cumberland. |
