I did put in my real name. "Hababavarevabaga" And here I thought it was a reknown English name.

Is that really your name? :o

Isn't there that one babylonian king named after you?

Really? Not one of the Herefordshire Hababavarevabagas? They're second cousins on my wife's Uncle Arthur's whippet's side.

Cool. One side of my family (or at least the name) was centered in the Midlands in 1881 (although I was always told it was Welsh). But by 1998, the vast majority are to be found in the north of Scotland (Sunderland). Guess I need to start following Sunderland football...

You have to remember what the hyphenated surnames were for. Possibly the first of the pair is the more significant, and you could start with that.
