I like Clarkson. Not a fan of the name Jeremy though - Jezebel sounds better.

Paxman

I agree it's one of those names...like Nigel....which make you instantly think the owner of it is likely to be a bit of a buffoon. There has to be a university dissertation on the self-fulfilling nature of giving children these names I think.

Clarkson himself had difficulties with his name.

In Rotherham he was accosted with "Jeremy - what sort of a ***kin name is that".

Not easy, but then we all can't be called Dominic or Sextus, can we.

Guscott- very decent rugby outside centre. Very smooth runner (and kicked at least one important drop goal). Seemed like a decent chap. Had a terrific partnership for England XV with a Will who was a good player but maybe not such a sound fellow as Jeremy.
