  I was told by a member of the BOTTLE family, that a few generations ago one of them wanted to call their new daughter Imogen.
  
  There are some strange names in the old parish registers, like a Christian name of : "Why-not-William"
  
  I came across Pleasant PAIN.
  
  I had a great-uncle called Skerrit GARRATT (his father, my gt-grandfather Abraham G. was a very keen freemason).
  I was told Skerrit was a device on their badge. Another son he named Mason, and a daughter Masonia ! (There are a lot of Abrahams in the family)
  
  That was an interesting programme on Radio Kent this morning - with the brothers named Jake and Sydney (surname PYE)
