Help[Opinions] South African death notices
I sometimes search the only readily available list of dead South Africans. One can get more information by subscribing, but I just get the names for free.
Today I searched for an old school teacher of mine, whom I did not find. What I did find, though, all for the same uncommon English ln, are:
Malvena Gladys
Cushla Crummer
Rosa Mary Ivy
Nimrod George
Sonnyboy Sunshine
They were all born before 1936.
Any thoughts?

Hi !!!
Malvena Gladys: It sounds nice. I would prefer Malvina though-
Cushla Crummer: What do these names mean?
Rosa Mary Ivy: horrible all together. Rosa is beautiful. Mary is a normal and "safe" filler despite it is boring imo. I dislike Ivy for its sound. It reminds me "envy" and "evil".
Nimrod George: strage combo! I like Nimrod because it I know about the ancient city. George is boring like Mary. Together are over the top..too different.
Sonnyboy Sunshine: Sonnyboy is nice and friendly although I would ot use it. Sunshine is strange on a boy but together with the first name suggest that parents wanted to bring him all the good luck and positive meanings. I like.

I don't know what Cushla and Crummer mean at all!
Acushla in Ireland means 'darling' and apparently the A at the beginning is just an introduction or a way of getting someone's attention (like O God ...) and cushla is the part that actually means 'darling'. And Crummer is a surname which means something like 'Crooked', presumably physically handicapped rather than dishonest.
But as for what they meant to the people who named someone Cushla Crummer, I can't imagine.

Sonnyboy has got to be one of the most disinterested, indifferent things to name a child. You can't even take comfort in thinking it was probably a clerical mistake like you can with old US rankings of Infant, Boy, UUnknown, etc.
