The 4rth one is called Norman after Joe Regalbuto in Street Hawk.

And the last one, Bryan, well my parents probably got his name in all those american tv shows that popped in the 90's :)

They're classic french cartoons. You don't know Street Hawk either ? It was like Supercopter or Knight Rider, except with a bike. Not too bad, only one season though.

And it was one of the first roles of this guy :

this was pointed out to me in the form of a question by an uncle when I was like 14 years old, I hadn't really made the connection prior

My middle name is/was a gender-ambiguous one which I didn't really like and essentially abandoned.

My first name and surname are both very common - not quite at 'John Smith' level, but not at all far off.
In the modern internet world, that does give quite useful protection from being looked up.
I don't do sarcasm smileys, but someone as bright as you has probably figured that out already.
