How about: Unless Jesus Christ Had Died For Thee Thou Hadst Been Damned Barbon (or Barebone) who is either the English merchant and Member of Parliament better known by the far more "normal" name Praise God Barbon or his son later called Nicholas!!

Praise God's brother was called Fear God (who wrote dirty poetry!) and another member of the family possibly Nicholas' brother was called Jesus Christ Came Into The World To Save.

My parents wanted to name me after one of my grandmothers. Dad wanted me to be named for his mother, Zalia. But Mom won the debate, and I was named after her mother instead. Much happier to have wound up  as Elisabeth than I would have been as Zalia!

My ex-husband and I had a similar debate about our daughter's name.  I told her later what I had wanted to name her (Adrienne Elizabeth, which my ex shot down because "Adrienne sounds snobby and Elizabeth is too old-fashioned") and she told me I should have told her father to take a long walk off a short pier and named her that anyway.

As for me, I got stuck with family names all around.  My first name was my father's great-aunt's name, and my middle name is also my mother's, my maternal grandmother's, and my maternal great-great-grandmother's.
"If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

James Herriot (James Alfred "Alfie" Wight), when a human client asked him if animals have souls.  (I don't remember in which book the story originally appeared.)
