These Names Are … er, Outstanding!

You gotta hand it to those British of yore. They sure knew how to name their kids.

According to historical records (dates in parentheses), they actually named their children:

· Nicholas If-Jesus-Christ-Had-Not-Died-For-Thee-Thou-Hadst-Been-Damned Barebon (1640)

· Lurking Crabb (1780)

· Original Bottom (1846)

· Wack Broomhead (1848)

· Fatal Frederick Grucutt (1858)

· Lethal Margaret Stothert (1875)

· Tom Dick Harry (1890)

I kid you not!

(All I can say is, I’m glad my parents named me Craig because that’s what everybody calls me.)
