Well - this one's only mentioned once, but 'Zeller, Rose' (the last 
first year to be sorted) stuck out for me.  Maybe because it was too 
late at night, but if I say 'Rose Zeller' it sounds just 
like 'Rosella', which is the name of a colourful parrot in 
Australia.  I can't think that it would mean anything, but it makes a 
cute name!

There's also 'Mark Evans' being bullied by Dudley.  Is the surname 
just a coincidence?
