This kinda suggests that the name (and variation) is actually some sort of idiomatic pseudonym, like "Alan Smithee" (well-known in the film industry) Can anyone conform or refute? Fascinating! ...uhh, "tapping that thing"?!

Evidently, Shagnasty is an actual, albeit rare, surname (possibly related to "Shaughnessy", etc.), but to compound that by naming your baby boy "Boliver". The boy was doomed. Actually, come to think of it, I think that would be a fun name to have as an adult.
