> Question for the Americans - is Mavis Beacon a reasonable name for someone to be called where you come from? I would say so. Mavis is a bit old fashioned, but it was a very common name at one time[1]. Beacon is not a common last name, but IMDB does list a few people with that as their last name[2] (and a lot more with "Deacon" as their last name; I could totally buy the B and D getting switched out at some point in the family's history, especially if they immigrated in the 19th century when record-keeping was much less stringent).
