His surname at birth was "Tollemache-Tollemache", his father having doubled his original surname, "Tollemache", in 1876 after his second marriage. "de Orellana" derives from the naming customs of Spain, where his mother came from, and is a forename rather than part of his surname. The first "Tollemache-Tollemache" also seems to be an unusual forename. Leone was Ralph's sixth son, hence "Sextus". "Fraudatifilius" is Latin for "son of the defrauded one". "Leone" repeats a pattern seen in the names of his elder brothers and sisters (Lyonel, Lyonesse, Lyulph, Lyona, Leo, Lyonella and Lyonetta). His first five initials, "LSD OF", may include a reference to the divisions of the pre-decimal British currency, £sd, for pounds, shillings, and pence followed by half-pence (ob., "obol") and farthings (i.e., quarter-pence). This may be a reference to a financial dispute between his father Ralph and Ralph's first wife's trustees which had driven him bankrupt in 1863.[4] Similarly, an elder brother was named Lyulph Ydwallo Odin Nestor Egbert Lyonel Toedmag Hugh Erchenwyne Saxon Esa Cromwell Orma Nevill Dysart Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache[5]—his first 15 initials spell "LYONEL THE SECOND". In practice, Leone shortened his name to "Leone Sextus Tollemache".

"He died on active service on 20 February 1917 from double pneumonia" and doubtless would have died of even more pneumonia if he could get it

The text size on my work computer is clearly set way too low because I initially misread that as 'Toiletmachete'.

His first name was properly pronounced with three syllables (/prɪˈzɜːrvɪd/ prih-ZUR-vid), and was a reference to being "preserved from sin" or "preserved in grace".

i don't want to go all william blake on this but i did think about posting it to the awesome names thread; this thread just got bumped first. i will readily agree that the name is both awesome and abysmal.
bizarro: it's actually just as funny to pronounce it with three syllables, if not funnier. i tried it. also you get to explain why it's three syllables, which is also some good 18th century yuks

Having spent much of the last year reading books written in or about the 18th Century, I can confirm that I have yet to come across a single name which possesses the magnificence of Preserved Fish.
