Easily enough explained.

A profound lack of knowledge of history, and no such thing as Google.

True dat, but still... how blewdy iggerant could they be? I bet someone could've slipped "I V Dzhugashvili" by them as well.

I know Cunning Stunt got by well back in the day, and Caesar Kimmel had a bunch of horses -- and good ones, too-- with eyebrow-raising names (Cold As A Witch's, Bodacious Tatas, among others). But of course these are slightly different stories.
