Extraordinary names

Our modern era has shown that there are lots of weird names you can give to your children.

This thread should instead be about names that literally could have been your Grandfather's or -mother's name (in your local language or one you know of).

My first take is Immaculata. Yes, the name means what you might think.

My mother Christened me Christopher, because she hoped I would be "Christ-like".

The family joke is this hasn't worked out terribly well so far. For anyone.

Next?
