Here's a man fighting nominative determinism. Clearly he was born to be a mid-level blagger in a London mob outfit.

Or a Terry Pratchett one. I'm sure he's shown up in an Ankh-Morpork crowd, trying to avoid being noticed by Captain Carrot.

Do you think he goes by Tod, T.S., or the Strunkmeister?

My mom's own genealogy work on us has turned up an ancestor named Ankaret Le Strange. (yes, that's an actual family that JKR borrowed the name from)

So pretty fun but also terrible?

sorry, I didn't provide all the details - this is one of my own like medieval ancestors, she was a loving baroness or some poo poo. English, so the name doesn't have some horrible secret meaning, it's just kinda fun/goofy.

It sounds like a fine idea now, but wait until it becomes popular, and every other child in class is called If-Jesus-Christ-had-not-died-for-thee-thou-hadst-been-damned, and you have to call your friends If-Jesus-Christ-had-not-died-for-thee-thou-hadst-been-damned B., If-Jesus-Christ-had-not-died-for-thee-thou-hadst-been-damned McA, and If-Jesus-Christ-had-not-died-for-thee-thou-hadst-been-damned McC to avoid confusion.
