Unusual or Interesting Names in your Family ?

Thank you fanny. I think many families have their own pronunciations of names which I think is rather nice.

My maternal GPS were Olive and William, the others Mary and Arthur. We have a lot of Welsh names in the family. Eirwen, Valmai, Huw, Trefor etc. My name and my sister’s are so unusual as we would be instantly recognised on GN

Thank you Gwyneth
Clara was my great grandmother's first name.
She pronounced it Clare-a, not
Clah-ra.
And my Nan pronounced her own name Duh-reen, not Door-een.
That side of the family must have an awkward streak!

I should have just titled the thread 'Grandparents' Names', come to think of it!
Dwynwen is beautiful.

My great grandmother was Fanny Eliza she named her daughter Lizzie. On my grandfather's side he had sisters called Myrita Victoria and Jorie Beatrice.

Love the name Clara fanny. We don’t have any unusual names in our family but a lot of Welsh names . My mother’s sister was Dwynwen which means Valentine. But we always called her Auntie Wyn.

My grandparents' names were Mabel Agnes, William Charles, Sophia Elizabeth and Frederick George.
Some of these have stood the test of time or come round again.
