Yes, Morticia Alexander & she was almost as strange as Mrs Adams!!! Actually, she was my age so she was born before the Adams Family was ever on TV, Wonder if they copied her???

I was going to say Morticia goes back to the 1930s Charles Addams New Yorker cartoons, but a little Googling says the Addams Family characters had no names before the TV show was created.
It’s just as well that there are no other Morticias. The original was so over the top, that no one would dare to name their kid after her. Did you ever notice how few Adolfs there are loose in the world these days? Morticia’s name should be retired like Babe Ruth’s number.
Apparently, my classmate’s parents made the name up about 20 years before The Addams Family ever existed. Morticia is not a popular first name. It is more often used as a female name. People having the name Morticia appear to be originating from all over the world. The name was most popular in 1971 with 11 babies blessed with the name. I’m glad I wasn’t born in 1971!!!
