[Facts] Re: Are people really named Hospice?
I've either met or encountered people called Furniture and Psychologies - from Zimbabwe, but there are some interesting ones from other African countries as well. Anything's possible.

But in the case of the French name Hospice people are not being named a random noun. Hospice is the French form of the name Hospitius. I have seen it used well into the 20th century.
