#1 is Gaston from the early 20th Century strip _Alphonse and Gaston_. The 3 Bats from _Pogo_ were Bewitched, Bothered and Bemildred.

#2 is Gallagher. They had a hit song called _Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean._

#3 is Hermione Gingold. I had an English Lit teacher who refused to believe there was such a name.
