A good name (to irritate a sister)

"Messmore Breamworthy?"

"Could there be a name like that?"

"It is the name of one of Freddie's coworkers at Donaldson's Dog Joy, Long Island City, U.S.A. But I really don't like it. Too ornate, and the same objection holds in the case of Aubrey Tresfusis, Alexander Strong-in-th'-Arm and Augustus Cave-Brown-Cave.
