There have been complaints about calling the Chancellor Thieving Reeves – mainly because adjective and noun don’t start with the same letter. The best alternative seems to be Robber Reeves but Robyn also works.
On the other hand, there are those who think a name that trips off the tongue because both words start with the same letter distracts attention from the crimes against humanity committed by the person awarded the adjective. And that we should stick with Thieving. I note that she’s also known on the internet as Rachel Thieves.
