"Yorkshire Couple Named Baby Diot Coke - in 1379 Naming your child after a popular soft drink could be seen as a little bit faddish but the parents of young Diot Coke might be forgiven – they gave their baby daughter the name way back in 1379...." http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=2628349

I Diot Coke take thee, More Oncoal Oh, oh! [holding sides e] They were both in blackface, no doubt. From Anna's link: names now considered to be masculine, such as Philip and Thomas, were once used for girls in the 14th century.
Redmond also found that names such as Godelena, Helwise, Idony, Avice and Dionisia were more popular than some of the names now considered traditional, such as Mary. Miss Thomas Aquinas? My daughter is very grateful that I vetoed my husband's choice for her name: Guinevere.
