Todays society would probably name after a biscuit...judging by the trend if odd names!

I wonder how they came up with that name? Names passed down through families or surnames used as first names are all quite common and easy to understand but I often wonder about names that appear to spring from nowhere. I wonder what future generations will make of the names used today? Are they any worse than some of the names we find from years ago? |

Looking again at Garibaldi Pickles's d.o.b (1864), I realise that he was born quite soon after the Unification of Italy (1861), in which his more famous namesake, Giuseppe Garibaldi, played a major role. Presumably the popular struggle in Italy was reported on at length in the English newspapers at the time. Much better than being named after a biscuit! Ruth |
