I found about 100 on a census with Garibaldi as 1st or middle names, all born in 1860s. One was son of a beer retailer; he'd called his pub after the great man too. One young Garibaldi had Lincoln as middle name.
G. was a hero of mine as well, after reading Geoffrey Trease historical novels as  a kid. Later, Italian Reunification was a topic in history at school.
Beetlestone has been transcribed as Bectlestone on more than 1 census.
I found myself having a phone conversation with a young man called Baden Powell, about 3 years ago. He's real; he worked for a reputable company.
