 Why don't we have as interesting names anymore? Granted, George Brown and John Alexander MacDonald wouldn't look out of place in today's phonebooks, but what ever happened to names like D'Arcy McGee? Or G.E. Eyre? Or, my favourite: W. Spottiswoode?

What interesting names have you run across in your travels? I recall a girl in my third grade class whose name was "Heaven-Leigh" (AKA "Heavenly"), and I was very jealous of the cleverness of the pun.
