I figured "William the Forswearer" was a medieval-sounding way of saying "the perjurer." "William the Bastard" would work too, but was already taken (the original name of William the Conqueror).

Too early to say what will be a good moniker for The One. The country passed up a chance to elect Barry Goldwater. Maybe this one will turn out to be Barry Bathwater (from wanting to throw the baby out with it).

"Barry the Unready" would work too, but Ethelred already (ahem) got that one.

(Yes, the Old English "unraed" means "ill-advised" or "poorly counseled" or "handicapped by inferior planning," most of which work but are rather less apt than the common misreading.)
