Humbert Humbert is one of the main characters from Vladimir Nabokov's novel "Lolita".

Alliterative 'I' names are rarer than many other letters! Sir Isaac Alfred Isaacs was both a judge and politician before becoming Australia's 9th Governor General in 1931. Prior to this role, he served as then Prime Minister Alfred Deakin's Attorney-General.
