If it's a genuine Latin forename then it's male. Would end in 'uvia' if female. Sounds like a classics professor who called in for a swift half on the way to register the unfortunate child. |

Not at all offended I pmsl when I found it. The whole family went in for wierd names. His mother was Augusta Sophia Lavinia Coleman. He also had a brother called Otho Illesley Wyatt who was unfortunately one of the first burials in the new Bedford cemetery which his father (who was only called James!) had caused to be built as town clerk.
