Tim the Enchanter! Good one. IIRC, the character had a much longer and more dramatic name in the script, but John Cleese blanked when they were filming that scene and just said the first prosaic name that popped into his head. The rest of the Pythons loved it, and it stayed in the film.

Congrats, knoodler.
