Too exotic.

Too exotic.

Tssk tssk. The Brits used to be on every damn island around the globe. It works just fine!

And anyone with an exotic name would be forced to grow tea for us fine gentry.


As for me. Anthony Kingfisher-Parkin

Be careful. We have a lot of harbours.

Cornelis Lopes Dias-van Buuren.

That's your Waffen-SS name once you betray your neighbourhood to the Germans.

Anthony Kingfisher-Parkin

Ding! Ding!

The current frontrunner.

Chris Bryant MP won the right to propose a Private Member's Bill and offered the public a chance to select a proposal through a poll.

The Assaults On Emergency Staff Bill is all well and good but it's no Billy McBillface now, is it?

Saw this thanks to @Omnis:

Find Your Tory Name

-Take the first name of a grandparent
-Then take the name of the street you grew up on
-Hyphenate with your headmaster's surname

Bernard Derwen-Dixon
Bernard Leighton-Schleising

Depending on which street or headmaster you fancy.

Hmm. I get "Onlinebanking Security-Questions".

I have/had* a great uncle on my dad's side who fled to Germany after the war. No one is sure why.



*he most likely is pushing daisies by now.

My headmaster already has a double barrelled surname. Could be awkward.

 

[Touring Mars]

I got William Buckstone-Blackadder...

 

[XJ40]

Isaac Ardblair-Massey


This is better than the other made up name game

 

[Liquid]

I got William Buckstone-Blackadder...

MacAdder, surely?

 

[TenEightyOne]

Alfred Burnham-Holborn. Get orrf one's land.

 

[PeterJB]

I could have...

Stanley Elley-Davies

or

Benjamin Potley-Williams

@Liquid
Is Vincent or Anthony more British? Because I would be V.A. First-Armstrong

Go with Vinthony, it sounds positively aristocratic!

 

[Wiegert]

Joan A490-Maher.

Britain's first automaTory?

 

[m8h3r]

Ken Nicholas-Dommett

Joan A490-Maher.

Wait Maher is my surname, do I have a Tory surname?

How does Peter Eldergrove-Perkins stack up?

 

[Famine]

Since none of mine are actually my banking security question (or anything security question) answers, I submit for consideration:

Herbert Westbury-Mardling.

 

[DK]

The guy who took a letter out of "Viscount" has been jailed for 12 weeks on two counts of "menacing communications" after offering a £5,000 bounty on Gina Miller. He must be kicking himself for not doing it on whatever is the Brexiteers' equivalent of that Trump cult subreddit instead of Facebook.

 

[DG_Silva]

Depending on which you want to go for (i'll go with earliest first then the later); John Stanwick-Torode or Denis Elmfield-Abbott.

 

[Famine]

Denis Elmfield-Abbott

That's totally a champagne socialist name.

 

[Dotini]

Dwight Lexington-Dunlop

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Albert Leslie-Pemberton.

How very dare you! I'm not a socialist of any kind.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Henry Royd-Waine. Not sure if that's a Lord or a Sir though.

Henry Royd-Waine. Not sure if that's a Lord or a Sir though.

The best Lords have a one-word name after their title. Things like Lord Kelvin, Lord Summerisle, Lord Barrington.

Once you start adding words you end up with nonsense like Lord Lloyd Webber and nobody wants that.

This name fits right in with Arthur Wellesley as being one of those Tory Irish aristocrats who hated Ireland.

Proper peers are named after land and have their own names too (although sometimes they adopted the name of the land as their surname). Officially Lord Kelvin was William Thompson, 1st Baron Kelvin.

So "Henry Royd, the Viscount Waine" would work
