 Old Post revamped with more information.

This is a profile of  Anthony Browne, born at Cowdray, Midhurst, Sussex, England in 1552. (here's his Wikipedia page )https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Browne_(1552%E2%80%931592) There is nothing in the profile that suggests where this name comes from and if I stick the name in a google search I come up with a Hackaliah Brown born in the 17th century in America. This profile has a Magna Carta project icon

He's still down as proper name Hackaliah. I still can't find a source for this either on the profile or elsewhere. Richardson uses the name Anthony in Plantagenet ancestors  The man died before his father so unfortunately he wasn't the heir. His eldest  son , who was his grandfather's heir was called Anthony. 

There are a handful of unsourced trees, all citing each other using this name on Ancestry. There is a proposed merge  using the name  with a Hackaliah  (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Browne-3345 ) but no sources on this profile either.

Hackaliah as a name  certainly causes confusion 

I went to propose a merge, as I noticed  new profiles for  an Anthony and his wife have  been created .  (same dates, same wife's name )I found  the merge  already  rejected  ( I think at the point  of profile  creation which was today)

In the absence of any other source showing that he was baptised Hackaliah and then called Anthony everywhere else,  I believe  his proper name should  be changed to Anthony  (with perhaps Hackaliah as AKA, because even if he wasn't called that in the past, he has acquired that name now)

Found  the memorial to his mother mentions Anthony as the only son no Hackaliah

I can't see much point in retaining the bogus "Hackaliah" unless it's as a disambiguation at the bottom of the page to note that he has no known connection to anyone of that name.

Did he not also marry Magdalen Dacre? (nice little bio here
