42.James Hogg. He took the name from his home Etterick Hall in thre Etterick Valley, and from his father who was a shepherd.

Again, excellent answers from Wolfman ( and it ain't even a full moon ! :o)

37) Thomas Kennerly Jr. - but still enough for the full point.
Re: the bonus, 2 out of the 3 points earned. James Hogg was actually a shepherd himself, but looked down upon by his contemporaries due to his humble origins - and the fact that he was self-educated. So his nickname was a derogatory one.
