Grandiose
In the comments to the last post, it appears that my commenters reckon four names pretty decadent. Piers Stefan Pughe-Morgan is a little overwrought, but I suddenly remembered a photo that proves it a mere bagatelle. This photo is of the names on one of the boards at New College, Oxford, commemmorating the folks from there who died in one of the World Wars:
Yes, his name really was 'James Archibald St. George Fitzwarrenne-Despencer-Robertson O.B.E.'
I really, really hope his mates called him Jim. It would have pissed the hell out of him, I should think.
