HelpRe: Stars with unusual middle names
in reply to a message by Pie
'Ralph Fiennes' makes me think his family probably owns a couple of towns in Kent. 'Ralph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes' makes me imagine he owns most of Devon and Somerset and he's first cousins with most European monarchs...or possibly that he escaped from a Dickens novel. :)

Ha, probably all three. He's definitely related to the kid who played Tom Riddle in the Harry Potter films - whose name is Hero Beauregard Fiennes-Tiffin. 0_0

That was his nephew.

I've not watched Harry Potter so I've not heard of that actor but when I read his name I audibly snorted. It's probably fine if you go to a private school but I think going to a comprehensive would've been traumatic for him.

He's got a brother called Titan. I think the chances of state schooling were definitely zero there.

Titan :O I mean, I was in no way one of the hardcases at school - not by a long way - but having that name just screams 'put me in my place' unless you happen to be built like a brick sh*thouse, of course.

Although I read in an interview that the Fiennes family (Ralph and his siblings) were really poor growing up. They came from aristocracy but there were some family issues so their dad farmed and their mom was a writer. He said there were several Christmases when their parents said they wouldn't be getting any presents.
That's one family where I love all the names in the sibset: Ralph, Martha, Magnus, Sophie, Jacob, Joseph, and foster brother Michael.
