Yup, it was. That family (Wigbert was a distant cousin of . . . some ex-family friends, long story) was very big on Family Tradition. They were pretty much unreconstructed German Sloane Rangers, and there was usually one kid in every branch who ended up saddled with some weird old Traditional Family Name.
ps - it's always nice to get a comment from an author one admires. I have Cake Full of Plums and some of your other stuff on my Kindle. :D
Oh, now you've done it! I'm going to have to go and curl up and blush in Secretly Thrilled Embarrassment for fifteen minutes or so.
