DO YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT AN UNUSUAL NAME?

Then have a look at the list below, what could Gilbert not have done with this lot? When I was in Somerset House, many moons ago, I made a collection of some of the more unbelievable names I came across. These are some of the better ones:-

Hortensia Erminia Maria Guissepina CASTAGNINO	Ascension ALVAREZ	Boy Betty BOBANIE-BROWN
Eulalee MUSSINGTON	Evelyn April REGISTER	Lovelane Baltimore CAMERON
Juliana Gifty AMOO-GOTTFRIED	Dawn LARK	Hecate Esmeralda Delphinia Lindsay McCULLOCH
Jeanine Lucienne Haline Chislaine Suzanna LOGAN	Pearl FISHER	Moble Turmotis DAVIS
Esther Violanthe CORDON	Peter Fidelis FUCTER	Merrie CHRISTIE
Sidsel WOXEN	Clarice Christabel DRACAS	Ailsa CRAIG
Daffodil Marjorie Jasmine JENNINGS	Nathaniel HAMBERGER	Angel Dionisio GOMEZ (this was a man)
Russian HOLDER	June Camelia MOORCROFT	Hetty PETTY
Idris PINK	Victorine Alexandra PIPE	Melvina Rose RASPBERRY
Delphine POTTS	Conception BULGIN	Edelgard BENNING
Petal HENBEST	Georgina Cherry BERRY	Kleopatra Doreen BUTT
Vilja Walpugis Seiglinde ZUCHT	Argentina Mafaeda Pasquina GREENLAND	Marie Louise Pelagic MARINUS
Melbourne Sydney SYLVESTER	Encarnacion MAKINSON

Then there was the delightful divorce case of Robin versus Marion Freda HOOD.

I swear with my hand on a copy of the Savoy Operas that the above are absolutely genuine.
