but "Docwra" seems superficially unpronounceable as
there's a middle vowel missing; "Doc-wer-ah" maybe, or is it
"doe-cur-uh"


You amaze me. I've know that name since I were a lad in London


Yes, I've seen the name for a long time, but never consciously heard
anyone say it. But then it might be one of those names like Shi-vaughn
(aka Sigh-Oban) that's so different you don't even marry them up.
