Hunter Smoon & brother Harvey. Then there could be Horst Hughes, and his cousin Hutch. And in the meterology corner - Lois Temps, Cy Clone, Rainer Shine, Cloudio Verhere and his son hiding being him.

UK radio programme that goes by the name of "I'm sorry I haven't a Clue" (spoof panel game) ends the show with just such names being announced as late arrivals to the "Firemans" or "Stud Farmers'" etc etc Ball.

Tolkien did this sort of thing in Lord of the Rings, though more often he played games with place names, even managing triple puns for the cognicenti (not me I assure you).
