See the wiki link in the email, the lad is just impersonating real people, thus using those names.

When they make up names, you're right, they usually use two short first names like "David Mark".

I would ask for the origin of the name. What does it mean, who is she name after, does she have a nickname?
Discuss it in depth.

I tend to avoid lad links like the plague, and you are right, it is an actual person, poor them. Not only have they got a stupid name, lads are impersonating them. Twisted Evil

I dunno, seems like a pretty reasonable Georgian name which is not especially funny to me. Two surnames (sometimes the case where a woman also keeps using the unmarried name), both of which contain suffixes that mean "-son of":
-dze in Gadavadze, -shvili in Patarkatsishvili

As already mentioned it's another case where the lad picks up on "famous rich recently-dead person" to provide a possible basis for "big load of money for somebody".
