Two weeks ago, I took a look at surnames which are identical to “word names,” and are responsible for the appearance of many early word name curios in past centuries.
Here are some more. Some are familiar now as first names; some would make great some first names — and some are awful, but really did get used (mostly as middle names) in the nineteenth century.
I feel particularly sorry for Daniel Coffin Pitt, Hilda Coffin Stainer and Kate Coffin Dash!
