Son of David Ross Beresford. Personally I think it would have been funny if male children in the family had continued to be named David Beresford with an increasing number of middle names each time.

John Graham Hope Horsley de la Poer Beresford, 5th Baron Decies PC (1866–1944), styled The Hon. John Beresford until 1910, was an Anglo-Irish army officer, civil servant, and polo player in the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris.
