The kid was found and named after a bottle of booze. That sounds strange until you read the lyrics of this song
Quare Bungle Rye
G
Now Jack was a sailor who roamed round the town
C G C D
And she was a damsel who skipped up and down
G Bm
Said the damsel to Jack as she passed him by
C G C G D
“Would you care for to purchase some quare bungle rye roddy rye
______________________________________________
CHORUS
D G
Fol de diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye
______________________________________________
Thought Jack o himself now what can this be
But the finest of whiskey from old Germany
Smuggled up in a basket and sold on the sly
And the name that it goes by is quare bungle rye roddy rye
CHORUS
Jack gave her a pound and he thought nothing strange
She said “Hold the basket while I run for your change”
Jack looked in the basket and a baby did spy
“Begorrah” says he, “this is quare bungle rye roddy rye”
CHORUS
Now to get the child christened was Jack’s first intent
And to get the child christened to the Parson he went
Said the Parson to Jack, “What will he go by?”
“Bedad now,” says Jack, “call him quare bungle rye roddy rye”
Fol de diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye
CHORUS
Now all you bold sailors who roam round the town
Beware of the damsels who skip up and down
Take a look in their baskets as you pass them by
Or else they may sell you some quare bungle rye roddy rye
CHORUS TWICE
