Vesperina Windle also has a certain ring to it I think :)

I have come across quite a lot of names whilst transcribing and often wonder what it is like, going through life with the surnames I find.

Some of them - Silley, Hole, Why, Pryke, Twist, Coffin, Bloomah, Squirrell - to name but a few. Makes me glad I have a 'normal' name.

Not particularly unusual, but Fanny Froggatt amused me.
