@southern.maple - Thank you. I love Britishbabynames.com. I consulted all of [name_f]Elea[/name_f]'s inspiring vintages names lists, including those you mentioned. It’s quite challenging to find truly cantankerous names :).

Any more names lists I should check out (anyone)?

Name lists I’m not sure about, but here are some names:
[name_m]Fergus[/name_m]
[name_m]Aurelius[/name_m]
[name_m]Egbert[/name_m]
[name_m]Harvey[/name_m]
[name_m]Mortimer[/name_m]
[name_m]Eustace[/name_m] or [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] (I put them together because of the C.S. [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] character, but you should probably consider them separately).
