For the change to Willson--or addition of Willson while retaining Reiniger as a middle name--it is likely that the family made the change around 1914 or 1915, in response to anti-German community sentiment (it's not sauerkraut, it's liberty cabbage). Yes, a guess, but a place to start. I think I read all of the first autobiography, And There I Stood with My Piccolo and don't recall any mention of it. No comment on using his middle name, lots of people do it. See also the comments below.

Meredith comes from Pluto meaning graceful, gorgeous, and fun to be around; also,the best mum in the universe.
