Kaor, Paul!
I certainly recognized the names BOUCHER, VANCE, ANSON, and ATHELING. And I hope most other SF fans would as well. "Umberto" only reminded me of of Umberto Eco, author of books like FOUCAULT'S PENDULUM. And a Crown Prince Umberto of Italy is mentioned, I think, in Anderson's FIRE TIME. And that's about it.

Jack Vance was a friend of Poul's; Anthony Boucher is another SF author; Anson is a reference to Heinlein; Selahny is probably an anagram of Roger Zelazny's last name; Atheling is one of Blish's pen-names.
Both,
Yes, indeed.
Paul.
Dear Mr. Stirling,
Anthony Boucher was not only an SF/F author in his own right, he was also one of the two founding editors of THE MAGAZINE OF FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION. And also a friend of Poul Anderson.
I had not known "Selahny" was possibly an anagram of Zelazny, however.

Googling "Rosenblum science fiction" also turns up a couple of names.
Also Bonfiglio and Monteith.
Kaor, Paul!
Dang! I should have googled some of the names in your list, not just stick to the ones I was familiar with! They simply did not ring any bells in my memory.
Sean
Charles Monteith, Blish's British publisher.
Kaor, Paul!
I fear that would have been VERY obscure to me and most others.
