The following name variants have all been found on the IGI, VR and other records - please let me know if I have missed any.

MAOKS |
MOCKES |
It is easy to see how some of the variations came in.
Some would have arisen from a phonetic interpretation of the name, others from
misreading a K as an X, while I have seen many others in the parish registers
where Moakes was written with the 'a' rather open at the top, making it very
easy to mistake as Moukes. Transcription errors are very common.
