Charles Hurry is rather surprising! But since Hurry is a surname, I'm guessing that it's a tribute rather than a spelling error.

Aren't Clement Willoughby Francis St George and Loveday Celestine Primrose Kennedy just totally amazing? I'm guessing Catholic, but what copious originality! And not a Joseph or a Mary in sight. Gosh.

I'm guessing the parents of that sibset (David and Claire) were really fed up with having boring super-popular names for their generation and decided to have something really extravagent for their own kids. They're not my style but Loveday is a bit of a GP.

I named a doll of mine Loveday and used Daisy as her nn! And of course there's always Loveday Minette in The Little White Horse, well worth naming someone after.
