RAGGETT: "Tell me where's your fancy bread.I need it for me, and I'm called Ned."
Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, Lord Dunsany
Seconding Fletrjet on both the name and his writing.
Working at a university as I do, I've come across many a mysteriously cool name. Current favorites, with slight non-google alterations (as these are folks I am currently having to bill for late books): the very Thai (I believe) Nar1n Charanvattank1t, the quite Scottish yet somehow naughty 1an Mu1r Duckles and the prime winner, someone I can only guess is from an Arabic/Dutch family of some sort, Azareen Vandervl1et Oloom1.
