HelpRe: Jacob Rees-Mogg and Family

What an atticful these names are together. I like some of them, but the overall impression is fusty.
Probably because I feel like the idea of noble families itself is moribund ... so when "Lord" and "Baron" type people seem to take it seriously about themselves, it just makes names that would normally seem like solid and even interesting classics, seem threadbare and anemic.
None of them is bad by itself though. Well, having a name-drop as a middle name, let alone two of them, seems like it'd be heavy, to me.
One strange thing is the mixing of very Catholic looking names, with not so Catholic looking sibling names.
I think the name Somerset de Chair looks funny. Even if I don't read it as being an English sentence about people who are seated!
I like: Nicholas, Rodney, Charlotte, Gillian, Frederick, Mary, Thomas, Dominic.
I guess I think Lawd Fred got the best overall hoard of personal names.
