Nonsense! We are in fact defending the purity of the Classics. If Ćgidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo were an ancient Roman patrician, his name would be fitting, but he's not. Instead, he's a simple farmer in medieval England, far removed from the great empires of the classical world.

++Ćgidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham)

Such a kingly name is not fit for a peasant!

Plus he used a blunderbuss! An anakronism!
