[Facts] Lascelles?
I've never heard of this name until recently, and all of a sudden I've heard it twice in the past 2 days. It is a man's name. Does anyone have background info?

Lascelles is the family name of noted aristocrat Earl of Harewood. Viscount Lascelles was the Earl's title before succeeding to the Earldom.
Wikipedia mentions a ninetenth century poet, Lascelles Abercrombie, so it is not unknown as a first name. But very uncommon.
