Mr Collin's marriage 1761!
You might find his Christian names rather odd!

Possibly not the name I would choose, but it is a solidly Biblical name:
"And I draw near unto the prophetess, and she conceiveth, and beareth a son; and Jehovah saith unto me, 'Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz, ..." Isaiah 8:3 Wikipedia saya it means "hurry to the spoils", or "he has made haste to the plunder" - which isn't a meaning I would chose either!

There is an American actor called Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, though he has shortened it to Mahershala now.

I didn't recognise it as a Biblical name, Phoenix! I wonder what they called him for short?

Baz?
I note that he merely made his mark. A name like that could put you off writing for life.

Lol! And I thought my ex's ancestor Onesiphorous was a mouthful!
