* In JRRTolkien's Middle-earth (''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', etc) it is extremely common for families to have names with similar meaning or sound, and as such there are many with alliterative names.

Later we get Morose and Mayhem. Misery is also a common name down the family line, so much so that they lost count of just how many have had the name.
