So we should call her The rebellious soul of a beloved lady who haunts the farmhouse of a man called Bligr?

Very interesting though. I never thought about where it came from. There seem to be very few Enid's left these days; the name has clearly fallen into disuse. Mary and its derivatives are still popular though. Every second Spanish female has Maria as either a first of second name.
