I didn't know his middle name was Neville. I always thought he was just Barnes Wallis...
Barnes Neville Wallis it is - you learn something new every day...
[edit]Obviously picked up some duff gen from an apparently reliable website...
Barnes
Neville
Wallis it is... and hence my original post has been modified and probably doesn't make sense anymore!

If your first name was Neville you wouldn't want anyone to know about it either.
Interesting though.

Oh I don't know. My hero Neville Duke was as famous as a film star during the 1950s. It didn't seem to bother him then & still doesn't.

It was actually his second name. Sir Barnes Neville Wallis. I'm surprised you didn't know that Charlie. Maybe you're not infallible after all.
