I am finding some very interesting names in my genealogical research, like "Free Love" (very 1960's but it was 1807) and "Loruhamah" also of that time but Mahershallalhashbaz takes the cake for sure!Patricia Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805777892399781031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4582751663390398171.post-36116273114207974842013-01-25T17:46:34.670-07:002013-01-25T17:46:34.670-07:00Hilarious names, but I'm sure they took themse...Hilarious names, but I'm sure they took themselves very, very seriously...

Kind of puts "Apple" in perspective.<br /><br />Cheryl: Thank you!! A very interesting (and educational) post into that time period. I have Thankful Bourne and her grandmother Thankful Morey from my Puritan roots. I have also seen Wealthy, Remembrance and Mindwell. There were other unusual names at that time, reflecting current events - like "Seaborne" who was born while crossing the Atlantic.<br /><br />Heather: My favorite was Hate-evil Nutter... can't even make up a funnier name!Christy K Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988458745832012138noreply@blogger.com
