No worries. I believe Welsh was one of the languages Tolkien was inspired by when he came up with Elvish.

Okay so for some reason I was googling former Vice President Daniel Tompkins.*
Found this wikigem:
Mangle Minthorne, an assistant alderman of New York City. The couple had eight children, including Arietta Minthorn Tompkins (born July 31, 1800), who married a son of Smith Thompson in 1818, and (Mangle) Minthorne Tompkins (December)
*= Probably because Christmas is coming and Daniel D. Tompkins is mentioned in "Miracle in 34th Street," which is one of the very few Christmas movies that I find even tolerable.

Okay sorry for the digression but seriously: Mangle Minthorne.
Mangle. Minthorne.
Of the New York Minthornes.
Not to be confused with Mangle Minthorne Tompkins, who was a completely different New York politician.

one of the developers of human in-vitro fertilisation was called Patrick Steptoe - a name I thought was a fictional creation by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson until today!

Apparently there is a TN House Rep named Monty Fritts, that's pretty good. But I had an Uber driver over the weekend named Artiston Leatherbury. That rules.
