Of course they do!

There was a thread on r.eddit about children's names. My favourite comment was about a child who's middle name was Danger

The grandson of a former colleague is called Surname-Father's name-Surname. Their family name is more along the lines of Higgins than anything that lends itself to traditional use as a first name.

She didn't take too kindly to the 'Bond, James Bond' impressions. Or anything that suggested her darling son is a narcissist, who needed telling.

That’s just weird.

There was a woman on Only Connect who was so desperate to take her husband’s name but his surname was too long so she took his first name as her surname.

She sounds like an idiot.

I think she was being a bit racist too as she took his British first name

Ah!

I don’t understand why anyone would do that.

They seemed like a sweet couple.

Well she should be doing that in solidarity with her husband if she wants his name ;)

I suppose it’s quite a nice idea really but now she’s got to explain to people why she took her husband’s first name, for the rest of her life

I had this customer today.

That’s brilliant!

I was reading an article about a Dutch coffee company and the owner was called Dick de Kock. They were hoping to branch out into other countries and now I'm just hoping they don't mean English-speaking ones...

Saturday morning and all the Facebook notifications that kids aren’t going to athletics are pouring in.

No shit!

Tiga-Lily

I’m assuming they want you to pronounce it Tiger so why couldn’t they spell it like that?

To be different :woteva:

I just upgraded my phone and was helped by a lovely lovely man called Mcc.labia.

He was from Tennessee.
