GROUCHO

I've been reading a not particularly good biography of the Marx Brothers, as well as watching several of the old movies. So I got it into my head to try to come up with some names for Groucho's character that sound plausible. These are those. Let me know what you think:

CHESTER H. HARTSOCK
AVERY FENDERWAX
T. SHYSTER TURNCOAT
MONTGOMERY ALLEN STONEPOLE
LAMBERT Q. LAMBERT
G. CRAYFISH MOUNTEBANK
KLAXTON VERNON SHOEHEEL

Of course Chico and Harpo would need names as well ('Monkey Business' notwithstanding), not to mention Margaret Dumont.
For Zeppo I'll just stick with Jamison.
