Smile Word Game: The Relatives of Thelonious Monk
One of my favorite jazz pianists is Thelonious Monk. "Thelonious" is a fairly unusual name, and I idly started wondering about the names of his potential relatives. I immediately came up with:

-- The angry brother: Acrimonious Monk
-- The brother with unfortunate criminal tendencies: Felonious Monk
-- The brother who always sang a third above the melody: Harmonious Monk

I have a few more, but would like to hear what others can come up with...and to see whether this silliness has legs.

Cheers!

The Bulgarian judge has penalized you for not having the full "-onious" suffix in your entry.

I should mention that making up words is definitely a possibility. For example, his grandfather from Argentina might be Patagonious Monk.

Nicely played, sir. Cacophonious Monk was always one of my favorites.
