The House of Dies Drear.
The twins in "The House of Dies Drear" were named Pesty and Polly. They were siblings who lived in the small town of Ohio in the story.
Pesty
This is a guess. Dies Drear may be an allusion to the hymn, Dies Irae, in the Latin Requiem Mass - Dies irae, "O day of wrath". If Dies Drear is such an allusion (admittedly, a long shot), his first name would be pronounced dee ace; accent on first syllable.
