I'm confused as to what you mean regarding his name. Obviously you are
referring to the 'Dumb' part of it, but Dumbledore is the Old English
word for bumblebee, and was a type of hat worn in the late 1800s. I
really don't think that JKR was suggesting anything in his name
being 'Dumb'ledore. But then with the way that woman's mind works
absolutely anything is possible!
