sick, bored and home alone

So I decided to check the family tree for unusual names and boy did I find some.

Now our family tree goes all the way back to 1600 so these are all pretty old.
These are all names from my grandfather's side of the family. No middle names were displayed unfortunately.

Pelagia
Nicasia
Ermengild
Orsalina
Ingwar
Eusebia
Tybalt

If I had to pick one of those I'd go with Ingwar too.

I love Orsalina and Tybalt, though I'd probably never use either. :)

Hildegarde is a very common name here.
Cletus makes me laugh. Mayme??
How would you pronounce Aloysius?

[searlait.livejournal.com]

Mayme seems to be originally a nickname. My family has a habit of gifting our names to our babies.

Beats me on Aloysius.
Cletus is horrid!
