MPs have been queuing up to swear into parliament for the new term. And their full names are being written in the official record.
Hansard has very grand names on show, not least from the prime minister, chancellor and health secretary.
Environment minister Rory Stewart also revealed his real full name: Roderick James Nugent Stewart. No wonder he uses Rory.
But it was culture secretary John Whittingdale and London mayoral hopeful David Lammy that really caught people's attention.
No one was expecting these middle names.
It got some Westminster-watchers rather excited.
Nominative determinism? London mayoral hopeful David Lammy's Middle name is "London" and James Whittingdale's is "Flashy"! h/t @ParlyApp
Yesterday's Hansard is a particular joy for finding out MP middle names. E.g. "Right honourable John Flashy Lawrence Whittingdale, Maldon"
Hard to see past David "London's my middle name" Lammy as the next London mayor! @DavidLammy
Sadly, "Flashy" and "London" were simply typos. The pair's real names were accurately recorded in a separate document.
