Neither Herr nor there

Sir: Much as I love Taki, how would he like to be called Theodoracopulos Bey? Willie Landels's grandfather was a well-known Scottish Minister of the Baptist churcll (could fill the Albert Hall with ease) and his father an equally Scottish banker (23 May). His mother was a Manfredi, a perfectly good Italian name. No Teuton blood at all. Jennifer Paterson 180a Ashley Gardens, London SW1
