Well, Walliams was born Williams.

Wot no Kenneth?

9¾ Kenneth Williams. Veteran Carry On actor who nurdled his wadger on the radio as Syd Rumpo; career highlight was appearing as The Moog in a daweaver icon. Loses points because I used to confuse him with Kenneth Grahame and Frankie Howard. Would beat Danny Williams in a fight.

I think it was his splod that Syd nurdled, but no mind. :)

I suppose the plural ought to be Kings William rather than King Williams.

I thought that King Williams were either a type of potato or a type of spaniel, but the latter is King Charles.

... and the former is King Edward. There's a Williams (or possibly William's) pear, if that's any help?

What's Mornington Crescent?

Never mind, wikipedia is quite useful ;)

David Walliams's actual last name is indeed Williams. He uses Walliams for stage purposes to make it sound more interesting.

And because there already was a David Williams in Equity. The curse of the years for actors with common names (see Stewart Granger). Although I see it has now extended to Conservative MPs...
