The Brontë was originally Brunty, the father changed it to honour 
Nelson when he won some battle.

Zoë Wanamaker's is American. Or least was born in the US.

Emeli Sandé dad was from Zambia i think

John Le Carre is a pen name, his real name is David John Moore 
Cornwell

So often the source of the umluts in "british" names is not as 
straight forward as it may appear.
