Unwieldy names

     "It couldn't really be that, could it?"
     Archie looked grave. He hated to give pain, but felt he must be honest. "It might" he said. "People give their children all sorts of rummy names. My second name's Tracy. And I have a pal in England who was christened Cuthbert de la Hay Horace. Fortunately everybody calls him Stinker."

(from The Indiscretions of Archie, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
