There was a family in my home town with the surname Quackenbush, which led to any number of jokes about ducks in their trees.
There really was an historical person by the name of Englebert Humperdink, from whom the singer took his name. I can't remember what the original did. Just like there was a real Jethro Tull, who IIRC invented the seed drill. (Could be wrong on that.)
