* Mentioned in the book ''Going Too Far'' by Catherine Alliott. Protagonist Polly is invited to give prizes at a horse fair because of her husband's status as a wealthy local landowner; but she completely screws up the ceremony. She miserably thinks that her husband would have been better off with a woman named "Lucinda Raffetty-Bagshott" or "Camilla Ponsonby-Bunkup."
* Similarly to Nobby Nobbs (see above), subverted with William Makepeace Thackeray's Charles James Harrington Fitzroy Yellowplush. While his name is stereotypically posh, he's fairly low class, being a semi-literate footman who writes with DelusionsOfEloquence. As revealed in the first chapter of his "Memoirs", Yellowplush is the SonOfAWhore and the reason for the multiple names is due to his mother's uncertainty regarding the identity of his father.
