I thought I've seen it all! I complain about and criticize these "new" names, today's infants are given. Nothing IMHO, can top this one! Kerenhappuch Hawkins! Fanny and Eliza must have been taken! Her nickname was probably, "Poochie"!

from the Newland Baptisms...
1746 - Kerenhappuch d/o Thomas Hawkins

Smith’s Bible Dictionary
“Kerenhappuch” means the horn of beauty

Kerenhappuch: the youngest of the daughters of Job, born to him during the period of his reviving prosperity. (Job 42:14)
