Well, given that I didn't notice Chris had no. 3 wrong (it is very much Arthur's Seat!), I'll attempt a kind of logical approach... I imagine it's unlikely to be Sirhan; Wilkes and Harvey are both middle names (in this case) so I'll try Oswald even though it's a surname (in this case!)
I did say kind of logical
