These aristocratic-sounding surname-surnames were served up years ago by Edwin Newman in _Strictly Speaking_, when he published a list of college and university presidents with similar monikers. He proposed reading them out loud at parties to add to the jollification. My favorite was one `Forrest Brander Matthews'.

BTW, superb article by Mark Steyn. If the Dems had any sense (they don't) they would mark the forced death of Terri Schindler with the same words an English soldier cried out, when they burned Joan of Arc at the stake:

"We are lost! We have burned a saint!!"

As I recall, Princeton Lyman, an insufferable arse and know-it-all, had brothers Yale and Stanford. Elitist? Nahh.
