Seven degrees of separation indeed!


More names from the lists:

There was a family by the name of Hodder (not sure if related, too many gaps) who took their inspiration from the Bible - as many did. This family started with Julia and Tabitha, but then progressed to Kezia and Bathsheba. The first son was Emanuel (sic), then came Barzilla, another girl. Obedia and Zibich completed the family.

I detect a Jewish influence with Sunecai Genteelei, although she was baptised in a very rural Church of England... Ann Collypriest is quite rhythmic, as is Minnie Burch and Mercy Budle. Zilpah Dunford appears somewhere in Toller Porcorum and Adoniza Zealley is from the same area. Jane Payne, Tirzah Fever and Parthena Staple have a certain quality to them, but Speaze Tizzard takes the biscuit (and incidentally the highest word score in Scrabble).

If you put these names into a book or screenplay, you'd be laughed out of the office!
