And Florence was named after a machine, Brian was named after the Nottingham Forest Manager of the time, Zebedee was named after Eric Thompson took acid, apparently the definition of Dougal nowadays is:Noun & Adjective. A term used to describe a middle-aged woman (mid 30s - 50s) usually on the large side, who has long, bushy, bleached blond hair.
well, they got the hair /fur right.
Ermintrude......God only knows... She was probably Welsh

I'm not sure that counts. Or that Wales would want to claim it.
