You don't normally get to choose your names, but if you were able to, what would they be?

And to make it more interesting, choose from three periods in history:

(a) Early Anglo Saxon.

(b) Elizabethan.

(c) Edwardian.

Personally, I've always had a penchant for "Marmaduke P. Thornbush Currathers."

Then of course there are the double barreled and the "ffrench's" ( with a small "f")

I like my name which is a good Jewish one with a latin sprinkle.
I think this list must be expanded to include other possibilities:
-Amerindian names
-Oriental names or names with oriental roots (from Japan China,etc.)
-Names from countries that speak neolatin languages (France, Portugal, Spain, the Latin American countries, etc.)
-names with Russian/Polish roots
-Names from Central European countries.
-Escandinavian names
-Jewish names
-Arab names
-African names with tribal roots
-Names typical for India and Pakistan
and, of course, the list needs completion.

I'll play the game according to the rules you left, M., since I consider it more respectful to you (and otherwise polite) than merely trumpeting PC. Forgive me if I vary the order slightly, but henceforth you may refer to me as Androwe Hosking the Aetheling.

E.A.S. (if done correctly): Arlys Devon Irwyn Almund ... (not quite: Gunter Glieben Glauchen Globen but close enough)

Or something that makes you stand above the common herd

" Hrodgar Valentyne Orville Smith" or "Ceolwulf Octa Balthasar Jones."

I like Greek names from mythologies
That would be Helene or Sophia
