A tale of two names

With Charles Dickens’ bicentennial birth anniversary all the rage, here’s a fun game to paint oneself as a Dickensian character.  Take the Christian name of a great-grandfather and add it to the primary school you attended.  I choose to come out as Henry Napier, a fine Victorian name as Napiers (related and unrelated) were very prevalent in the British Army during the nineteenth century.
