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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum. I do tend to fit in well wherever I go in person. The campfire is the most outside exposure I get. No TV, no newspaper.
