More unusual Christian names
I seem to find most of them in Devon and Cornwall.
I have already had Orenge today. Now I have Santimola. Bottom of the page. http://search.findmypast.co.uk/recor...635173%2f00022

This morning I added a couple of people called Onely to my tree! At first I thought it was a mistranscription.

On one branch of my contemporary family there are children called Ruan, Sennen and Veryan. Cornish roots, of course.

My Cornish granddaughters have Cornish place names for their names too and will spend the rest of their lives spelling them to strangers! OC

Ex's great-times a lot grandfather was called Onesipherous (and spelling variants). It is, of course, Biblical.
I have a Modesty, Honor, Temperance and Charity in my tree (all different branches) and came across a sadly-unrelated Comfort once. I am also fond of a gt x can't remember mother, called Parthenia Spruce. Closer in time was my paternal grandfather, Jeuel Jabez Gray - a census whacker - the only Jeuel on the censuses, and inccorectly recorded on them all! Also found him on the electoral roll as Jule!

Nell, I think the name Honor/Honour was very popular in some parts of the country, especially in Devon and Cornwall. There are a fair few in my tree. The earliest I have is a Honor who married in Devon in 1609.
She had daughters called Rich(o)arda and Wilmot. Wilmot and its variants (I have Welthi) seems to be quite common in the 1600s. Also Lore (Laura didn't exist then).

Another unusual Cornish name I have come across is Richeldis.
In my tree I have an Eme in every generation of one family, until it clarifies itself and becomes Amy. OC
