Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Unusual names

My mother's name was 'Irvyll' pronounced ER-vuhl. Has anybody ever known another person by that name? I've never heard again in the 65 years following her death.

My daughter's name is Kirta, ever seen that one?

My father's name was Ruff.

A kid where I work named his son "Krevio" because he thought it sounded cool.

Ask the kid in about 10 years what he thinks of it.

My cousin, for some reason named his son Stoakly. And, not to be out done, the middle name is Ervin. Nice kid.

a friend of mines wife is named Dorcus. My Daughter is Keri.

I see a lot of good one's when I am doing deed research for property surveys.

Not really strange, but just a point of oddity, had my dad not been shipped out to Antarctica, my Mom would have still been in Supply, NC when I was born, where my Grandfather would have insisted and probably succeeded in having me named "Jethro".


TLee, Dorcus is a fairly common name circa the 1900's, in central NC.

There was once a football player at Georgia named Car Radio Murphy.

i know a mary christmass

Dad went to High school with a dude named Richard Harry

I am with RWE on this one the deed research turns up a lot of crazy names.

A lady at work is called, "Q". When I asked her why, she said her name is Qtah. Also said there were several other women with that name where she was from- Mississippi IIRC. It was an Indian name.

also know a richard hunter

Never heard of an Irvyll, but it is not a bad name. Some of these old names are. How about Bulah?

How about a bad new name like Le-A.
It is pronounced Ledasha.
CUZ THE DASH AINT SILENT!!!

New a fine Lady in N.O.La. named Linoleum.

cheet joo not.

also knew a real dumbazz that named his son ($) never knew what he ended up calling the kid

We had a brother and sister in our little K-8 school of about 200... Enork and Peacola.. they wasnt exactly our skin tone and didnt stay around long..

Grandmother's was Arta, after Buffalo Bill's daughter.
From what I could find online it must be very unusual. Never could find a meaning.

OK, that makes sense then, they are originally from outside of Wilmington.

I told my wife I wanted our Daughter named Carrie and the BC came out with Keri on it, guess I should have spelled my version for her.

I know a few people named Ocal (pronounced OH-SUL) and Ica (pronounced I-SUH). And I know a few males named Opal and know of a guy whose first name was Shirley (he went by his middle name, which was Ray). My own middle name is Dee, which is not too uncommon here in Oklahoma, but a little like "A Boy Named Sue" when you head north. ("I gave you that name and I said good-bye, and I knew you'd have to get tough or die...")

And I knew a guy in western Nebraska named Dave Licious who, the last I knew, was marrying a gal named Dee. (No, not a joke.) I never knew if she intended on taking his last name or not.
