Classic Wodehouse names

We shall have more to say at future dates concerning the novel The Small Bachelor by Sir Pelham Wodehouse. But first we wish to take careful note of a couple of the names he uses: J. Hamilton Beamish and Sigsbee H. Waddington. Aren't those great names? If it were not for the fact that he isn't, you would naturally assume that Beamish is a lawyer, since it seems to be some sort of law that they must go by their middle names. There really is such a name as Sigsbee, and Waddington, too, for that matter; so each by itself would not be too remarkable. But to put them together is sheer genius. Who but Sir P. G. would have thought of it?
