        “Major Major had been born too late and too mediocre. Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them. With Major Major it had been all three. Even among men lacking all distinction he inevitably stood out as a man lacking more distinction than all the rest, and people who met him were always impressed by how unimpressive he was.”

          Earl is a real name. However, for this one, they explain in the series that he was supposed to be named Carl like his father, but due to sloppy handwriting he ended up being named Earl

        The last three, maybe (though I’m sure you could find someone with at least one of those as a first name), but everything before that are used at least irregularly.

      Smith is a profession more than a title, and is also generally a surname. I’ll give you Christopher and Rex though
