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.

I may have mentioned this before, but one of Bristol's top urologists is Professor Hashim Hashim:https://www.nbt.nhs.uk/our-services/a-z-consultants/professor-hashim-hashim
Hashim apparently translates as "destroyer of evil", which makes sense because he's an NHS surgeon. It's his job to destroy evil. In the form of urethral strictures, prostatic enlargement, excessive night-time urination, and general urological problems. He destroys the heck out of evil.
A few years ago I remember speaking with a man whose surname was Electricwallah. It seems that the British insisted that Parsis should have a surname for legal reasons, thus people called Bicyclewallah and Biscuitwallah etc:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-38050007
Of course it's no different from people in Britain being called Baker or Smith or Axialflowturbinemaintenancetechnician. In fact I went to school with a chap called Simon Axialflowturbinemaintenancetechnician. Do you know what his dad did? He looked after axial flow turbines.
