Don't forget Draco.  But except for so many of the girls being
flowers, I agree.  The older generations (Remus, Lucius, Sirius,
Minerva) tended to be a lot more frou-frou.

I also agree with the speculation in the original post, however, about
Arthur's Muggle fetish.  Fred, George, Bill, Charlie, Ron... these are
*aggressively* Muggle-ish names, much more so than the old fashioned,
royal/Shakespearean Harry (or even the relatively romantic and magical
Arthur), especially for such a pure pure pureblood family.  Ginny is a
down-to-earth, workaday British name, but "Virgin-ia" seems
appropriate for the ritual abductee of CoS.  Likewise "Tom" seems
over-the-top Muggle to me, and LV says he wanted to get rid of his
Muggle name, doesn't he?
