..."Pumpfry" appears to be a variation of "Pumphrey" which, according to Elsdon C. Smith of *The New Dictionary of American Family Names*, is a Welsh surname meaning: "The son of Humphrey (supporter of peace)"

I shall confirm it (saith the Lady graciously)....

I've never been a lady before :)

I quite like the sound of "Lady Merriment". Sounds like a title for someone who presides over a medieval banquet or Renaissance faire. :)
