Dion (m) and Martel (f) are two of the five tv presenters of a UK tv programme called Homes Under the Hammer. The other three presenters have very ordinary names Martin, Tommy and Jacqui.

WDYT of Dion and Martel?

In South Africa, Dion is the name of a chain store selling household appliances etc, and Martel is a not very distinguished brandy.

I actually kind of like it, they seem to be "common sounding" enough to not seem weird in the real world. I dunno if I'd add it to my list, but I wouldn't mind seeing these names be more common.

I wonder if Dion is derived from Dionysus?
