There was an old Bug's Bunny cartoon where Bugs accidentally gets drafted into the army under the name "Bertram Bonny." Also in another episode I think he had an uncle named "Uncle Bertram Q. Bunny." Needless to say, I think of Looney Tunes when I hear this name.
Bertram Cates is the fictional character representing real-life John Scopes in the stageplay, Inherit the Wind, an interpretation of the historical Scopes trial.
Hogwarts student, 1970s. Sirius and James got in trouble for cursing his head to grow to twice its normal size.
