I found a number of attested forms of my given name and my surname in
English.  I generated every possible pairwise combination.  I did the
same in Latin.  This doesn't *guarantee* a plausible combination, as
the forename spelling might date to 1400, say, when the surname
spelling might date to the Venomous Bede.  But I don't think it's
unreasonable.

Every time I do an e-mail signature, a program selects one at
random (though English is weighted twice as much as Latin).

And then there's a few humorous ones.
