HelpNTNB #1
Hope you're not tired of my NTNBs just yet! This one will be an upper-class British family, through the fifties till modern day.
The year is 1954.

GF [18] The Honourable...
A charity event organised by the wife of an ailing hotel mogul brought together this young couple: the mogul's son, straight out of Oxford, where he was a member of the infamous Bullingdon Club, and the ingenuous daughter of an impoverished baron.
They were not, perhaps, an obvious couple: a rich, but titleless man who inherited his father's perspicacity for business and his knavish qualities, and a gracious and effervescent, but naïve young woman of noble heritage and humble means.
Nonetheless, both his artful American mother and her hapless widower father predict the relationship will be auspicious - whether for them or their children remains to be seen.
The young man's:
1. First name: that of an Elizabeth courtier. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Court_of_Elizabeth_I
2. First middle name: a bird.
3. Second middle name: originates from Old English. https://www.behindthename.com/names/gender/masculine/usage/english/origin/old-english
4. Surname: is also a breed of dogs.
The young woman's:
1. First name: that of the principal female character in a Shakespearean tragedy.
2. First middle name: popular in late mediaeval England. https://www.behindthename.com/top/lists/england-medieval/1377
3. Second middle name: a virtue.
4. Surname: Cornish. https://surnames.behindthename.com/names/usage/cornish

feminine list: https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/191050/124080
