The missus was just reading me the review of this book she found for sale in a catalogue. Here's the review -
The first ever book of breathtakingly unlikely-but-true British names. Russell Ash has trawled parish registers and censuses to document the unusual, hilarious and downright ridiculous names that have existed over the last millennium. The incredible and diverse range of names include such gems as Dick Brain, Matilda Suckcock and Peter Piddle. Every single one has been authenticated and its source is given plus further fascinating information where possible.
I've got to get that book!:24:
