Those who think that it is only in recent years that people have started giving their children unfortunate names (such as Latrina) — and those who have complained that their own names are unpleasant — should check out this record from the 1880 Census. If you search here for the same first name, you’ll find 20 more Americans with such a first name, plus one Canadian and one Briton.
And of course think of how much more fun you can have with that search engine.
