[Tenniel2]

"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.)

[Verginius Rufus]

"...most of which work..."

Work, as in "suitable descriptions of Barack Obama"?

The name Ethelred bring to mind Ray Stevens' song "The Streak" ("Don't look, Ethel!").
