Blunderstone House." The second omitted Adventures, and called his hero
Mr. David Mag the Younger, of Copperfield House. The third made nearer
approach to what the destinies were leading him to, and transformed Mr.
David Mag into Mr. David Copperfield the Younger and his great-aunt
Margaret; retaining still as his leading title, _Mag's Diversions_. It
is singular that it should never have occurred to him, while the name
was thus strangely as by accident bringing itself together, that the
initials were but his own reversed; but he was much startled when I
pointed this out, and protested it was just in keeping with the fates
and chances which were always befalling him. "Why else," he said,
"should I so obstinately have kept to that name when once it turned up?"

It was quite true that he did so, as I had curious proof following close
upon the heels of that third proposal. "I wish," he wrote on the 26th of
February, "you would look over carefully the titles now enclosed, and
tell me to which you most incline. You will see that they give up _Mag_
altogether, and refer exclusively to one name--that which I last sent
you. I doubt whether I could, on the whole, get a better name.
