From: Mr Happy creep from paul simon thread. he's got 2 first names & some other people have two second names but no first names, like harrison ford. in our global democracy, surely 'twould be better for the names to be shared around, hence Paul Ford & Simon Harrison? more? |

25 Nov 02 - 09:10 AM (#834491) Subject: RE: two first names-no surname? From: MMario ?? I have known several people with the surnames of 'Paul' or 'simon' - likewise several with 'Harrison' as a first name, and several 'Ford' 's' as well. A name is a name - yes - some are more commonly seen as "first" names and some more commonly seen as surnames - but heck.... |

For a single name, it helps if its, you know, Bjork, or Sting...not Bill or George, and anything but Sue. My last name, Cameron, has become a very trendy first name in the past five years. Like, since that Diaz girl got hot. |

25 Nov 02 - 09:52 AM (#834521) Subject: RE: two first names-no surname? From: Orac Its always been common for Scottish clan names to be used as first names. Sometimes for both like MacDonald Macdonald. I'm sure there must have been a Cameron Cameron before now too. So the thread could have been "Two surnames - no first name". Anyone remember MacDonald Hobley on the TV. Shirley is a surname and only became a female first name in 1929. (The first to be given Shirley as a first name were male) |

From: Mr Happy the scots clan thing- not peculiar to there. lots of members of other cultures in the past had only the clan/tribal name only- no personal names. or they'd take their fathers given name- as in magnus magnusson [icelandic] |
