I'd like to raise a somewhat pointless, trivial, and obvious question as is my lot in life...

Just how much of London does actually have a proper name? For every Chuffy McAvoy-Dauntless there's quite a few Stuttering Fences, Submerged Rectors and Implacable Detectives with no proper name other than their title.
So far I know of:
The Clathermont family
Feducci (if that is his name...)
Chuffy McAvoy-Dauntless (any relation to the Dauntless Temperance Campaigner?)
Lucy, Cynthia, and Phoebe (of Hunter's Keep)
Lettice and Grace (the Mercies)
I'm certain there's others, as well. Who can you think of that has a name?

I refuse to believe this. :P Clearly Adoniform is the family name, passed down through many generations of chiseled, flexing men.
At any rate, it's a step above a Mr. ______ , or being called The Anatomy Exhibit.

From what I've seen, the term 'short' has no place in any discussion of the gentleman in question.

Her grandson. We also meet... let me think... Jervaise, Miriam Plenty, Mr Inch, Gideon Orthos, M. Pleat, Jenny, John Huffam, Reginald, Dr Schlomo, Silas, Tristram and Cora Bagley, Alice, Catherine, Jasper, Frank, Lyme, Virginia, Colonel Molly, Benjamin Villein, and, of course, dear Jeremy. Among many others I've missed, I'm sure!

Along with Jasper, Frank, and Lyme, there is also Soap. His main appearance is in the Fallen London comic "A Pinch of Snuff", but he also shows up in a 5-fate action in the Clay Quarters. I like how Jasper, Soap, and Lyme all have somewhat geological names, and then there's Frank. Did he not get the memo? They were supposed to stick to a theme!
Baseborn, Fowlingpiece, Leadbeater, Stainrod, Coterell, and Hathersage are all probably the names of real people. The names of the Bazaar's shops imply the existence of Carrow, Maywell, Dark, Savage, Gottery, Nassos (maybe plural), Nikolas, Merrigans (maybe plural), Dauncey, Fadgett, Crawcase, and Penstock. How many of them actually appear in-game?
Mr Leadbeater makes a brief, unconscious appearance in the Cubit Square heist.
An Amelia Hathersage shows up in one of the ambitions, although she is publically presumed dead.
Mr Crawcase appears in person to receive something if you sell it to the Bazaar. I don't recall which particular item, though. Intriguer's compendium, possibly?
Penstock appears in Sunless Sea, and certain holiday events in Fallen London.

...Dark, Savage...
Somehow, I kinda doubt that Dark & Savage are the names of characters. Unless someone really didn't like their children. Or perhaps were stuck with the surname. Perhaps Dark might be a name, but Savage seems more likely to be referring to the... lively nature of Neathy handware.

Goodness. My mistake. It's Mr. The for long, and Mr. The Anatomy Exhibit for longer, according to your preference.
In honor of the Last Constable and Cheeryman's recent story, I am submitting "Agatha" to the list of names. The Cheeryman's wife.

Also happy to help with nightmares, send sips of Cider, and plant battle.
