These guys, on the other hand, were well advised in creating catchy stage names: 1) David Frederick Wingfield Verner, 2) Edward Emerson Ford McQuaid, 3) Archibald Alexander Leach, 4) Protul Chandra Sarcar, 5) Andrew Bruce Cernava, 6) Abraham Pieter Adrianus Bongers, 7) Tomasz Chelminski, 8) Rezső Gács, 9) Josef Jacobus Maria Bemelman, 10) Christopher Nicholas Sarantakos.
