Reminds me of a quote from the great Terry Pratchett (in collaboration 
with the almost-as-great Neil Gaiman in Good Omens):

"Pepper's first names were Pippin Galadriel Moonchild. She had been 
given them in a naming ceremony in a muddy valley field that contained 
three sick sheep and a number of leaky polythene teepees. There are only 
two ways a child can go with a name like Pippin Galadriel Moonchild, and 
Pepper had chosen the other one..."
