Lord Dunsany (one of my favorite authors!) had the full name: John Edward Moreton Drax Plunkett, Lord Dunsany. The world has seldom seen his like as a wordsmith. A renaissance man, poet, explorer, hunter, soldier, and fantasist. --Boris All the names are pretty normal except for the "Drax". Maybe his mother was still in the throes of childbirth when they were naming him and they misunderstand a scream, thinking she said, "Drax."

My son had a good friend in junior high school named Junior Profit. He was named pretty aptly too. He was always selling things to my son, like his old baseball cards and stuff like that.
