Thread Name: BS: Traveller Discrimination Update...
Subject: RE: BS: Traveller Discrimination Update...
Names are quite compicated. It's pretty commonplace in my experience for people to have several names which they use on different occasions and in different settings - most especially women, with maiden names and married names. Then people have middle names they sometimes use as if they were surnames, or have places or trades attached. ("Jones the Post").

I don't think this kind of thing would happen in many civilised countries.
