Guignole lends his name to "Grand Guignole" - the theater of the grotesque. This stems from a rather grotesque statue of him in Paris in which he has a huge HUGE penus. According to legend, people have been chipping pieces of Guignole Jr. off for years in an attempt to cure their impotency and it's still the same size as when it was sculpted.

Viviana, an Italian, had nothing to do with drinking. In Spanish, there's no "V" sound, so Bibiana is the closest they could get in pronunciation. Bibiana is close to the Latin for drink. Quite a few other saints are patrons for reasons that call for a stretch in imagination. St. Clare, in her last days, couldn't make it to church services and saw the services on the wall of her room. She is, therefore, the patron saint of television workers. St. Lawrence was roasted to death. He's the patron of chefs.
