<div>Giles is not very common in Woolf. It was a popular name in the
medieval period (St Giles was the patron saint of “cripples”), and appropriately
there’s a Giles Martyn in “The Journal of Mistress Joan Martyn”. Giles
sounds a posh name to me, and indeed a distant cousin of Woolf’s was Sir Gyles
Isham, Bt (see letter no. 2690), who nevertheless was an ACTOR:</div>

<p>Stuart’s exasperation reminds me of this passage from Joseph
Heller’s <i>Catch 22</i> – it deals with surnames rather than given names, but
the emotions inspired are similar. Colonel Cathcart has realized how often the
name Yossarian is associated with events that dealt him metaphorical black eyes.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p><i>Yossarian</i> - the very sight of the name made him
shudder. There were so many esses in it. It just had to be subversive. It was
like the word <i>subversive</i> itself. It was like <i>seditious</i> and
<i>insidious</i> too, and like <i>socialist</i>, <i>suspicious</i>,
<i>fascist</i> and <i>Communist</i>. It was an odious, alien distasteful name,
that just did not inspire confidence. It was not at all like such clean, crisp,
honest American names as Cathcart, Peckem and Dreedle.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(Why does Heller give “Communist” a capital
letter?)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One Woolf name I have often wondered about is Giles, in
<i>Between the Acts</i>. What associations does that name have for readers - or
did it have for Woolf?</p>
