I don't get the premise, MichaeltheGM. Other than John England's name, what makes their names appropriate? I can see that if Victoria had been named 'Regina', say, it would have been appropriate but what does 'Victoria' mean - other than a female victor? And Sir Walter Scott- is his name appropriate because he was of northern British extraction? I haven't a clue as to Birchenough.

My sis in law's surgeon's name is Dr. Schneider. And I know a very small woman whose last name is Kurtz.
