b******s the lot of them.......in a genealogical sense. Once double barrelled names were the prerogative of the titled and upper classes, where the practice was adopted to prevent old dynastical names from dying out when there was no male heir to carry it on, or one male inherited two equal titles from either side of a family. Nowadays, it is usually used by unmarried partnerships to equally recognise both parents, and also prevents problems with differing parent/child surnames at school etc. This ^^^^^^.
God, it makes me so angry....I am gonna find a little bloke... I'm gonna have a fight! |

I am enjoying being back at Selhurst and having a beer with my mates just like we have done for the past 40 years. Through Thick and thin we stick with our club. Not chairman, players or managers, OUR CLUB! |

Those are the kind of people who should be drinking bleach on a daily basis. Which i suppose with a name like toilet-seat would be quite apt.

and another thing ... why do many players use their first or nick name on their shirts? e.g. Alexis (Sanchez).. Chicarito (Hernandez) etc. At least commentators stick to the team sheet.

So what would happen if Fosu-Mensah married Loftus-Cheek's sister? Would their offsprings be Fosu-Mensah-Loftus-Cheek? Midland.......just read your post on rules. Fair play on this one, but may I say you sound like so many of the referees. Dont threaten, just take action. Dish out the cards, far more fun. Bit like the ref did on Saturday at Huddersfield.

It's a dim practice by dim but entitled people....not necessarily the fault of the person who grows up with it. As stated, it doesn't make any sense going forward. Edited by Stirlingsays (19 Mar 2018 2.24pm)

Not all cultures and languages derive surnames and second names in the same way. The rules for calculating someone's surname in Spanish have a similar objective but are quite complicated. And if you're Icelandic you don't have a surname at all: you have a patronymic only, and your children get your name as a patronymic, and so on. So in the case of Gylfi Sigurdhsson for example that isn't a family name at all. Sometimes Icelanders who go abroad break that tradition, as in the case of Magnus Magnusson's daughter who ought to be called Magnusdottir. But anyway. You're allowed to change your name and call yourself whatever you want. Some footballers have pseudonyms. I once worked in a business where we had a customer who didn't want to work and got fed up with the Job Centre sending him for interviews, so in order to make sure nobody they sent him to ever offered him employment he changed his surname by deed poll to "Toilet-Seat". I guess he didn't need to work because he was already flush ?
