Evelyn Mary Stapleton-Bretherton Fürstin Blücher von Wahlstatt
This was an example in a production meeting and one of my colleagues responded immediately with, "It's Frau Blücher!" She moved back to England after the war styling herself "Evelyn, Princess Blücher" and I like to imagine her going around like Hyacinth Bucket insisting "It's 'blue-SHAY!'".

Honorable mention: Général Marie Joseph Félix Édouard Hardÿ de Périni. (Your eyes do not deceive you; yes, that is a diaeresis over the y. Snaps to him for having the confidence to wear the "Marie" up front instead of burying it in the middle of the string of forenames like most Frenchmen.)
