Richard III

Not a patch on Richard I and II.  Not enough killings.

Sir Ranulph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, Bt.
Note the absence of a 'T' in 'Twisleton', that's dead posh, that is. And he's not happy about hunting, which makes him fairly OK. Though he's also a 'Kipper, which basically makes him Hitler.

Theodore Dalrymple for me. His views match the name too.

Nah, there's only so many barrels and names you can attach before it sounds like you're common and trying to sound posh.

Leone Sextus Denys Oswolf Fraudatifilius Tollemache-Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache

Fun fact: I was at a conference a couple weeks back, and this guy and the other equally poshly named members of his family were the subject of one of the talks.


Quintus Pompeius Senecio Roscius Murena Coelius Sextus Iulius Frontinus Silius Decianus Gaius Iulius Eurycles Herculaneus Lucius Vibullius Pius Augustanus Alpinus Bellicus Sollers Iulius Aper Ducenius Proculus Rutilianus Rufinus Silius Valens Valerius Niger Claudius Fuscus Saxa Amyntianus Sosius Priscus (ILS 1104, in Salway (1994, n. 51).

Are you sure we're talking about the same Leone Sextus Denys Oswolf Fraudatifilius Tollemache-Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache? The one I know runs a contract cleaning business in the West Midlands with his dad, Lee.

Utter Shit

Ex-Tottenham centre back Troy Archibald-Henville is right up there for me Clive.

Shoulders?-Stomach!

Wait -- it depends --  is that the one whose kid Lyunulph Cospatrick Bruce Berkeley Jermyn Tullibardine Petersham de Orellana Dysart Plantagenet works the till  on Saturdays over at the Poundland over in Earlsdon?

Shit Good Nose

The ever increasing Rees-Mogg clan belong in here.  The cunt's my local mp.

He's got a ways to go to beat Leon Sextus above there when it comes to saddling your offspring with dementedly long and whicker names

No, I think we're thinking of two different Leone Sextus Denys Oswolf Fraudatifilius Tollemache-Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemaches. This one has a lad called Kyle - used to play for Wolves Under-13s but dropped out after getting in with a bad crowd. Bit of a coincidence though, eh?

That's a pen name.  But yes, clearly chosen to ensure maximum crusty conservatism.
