linguistic question
January 13, 2010 at 12:57 am
A friend just asked me this question.

Quote:Apparently, there is a name for the phenomenon of a person carrying a first name (Christian name) with a surname (Christian name) which may also be a first name.


I don't know. Any ideas?

Yeah, but more like say Peter George or Frederick Antony. I can't say I've ever heard of a term for such a thing.

Could it be a suffix name?
You might get your Dad's first name as your last to avoid suffix' of both Jr. and then Snr . . .
I'm not sure though.

At my baptism I've been given 2 names, Leonardus Cornelis. So If I didn't like the name Leo I could have gone with Corne (which are both common Dutch names). I stayed with Leo.
Best regards,
Leo van Miert

Is this a slang term or an actual recognized word?

All I know is: Never trust a man with 2 first names.

Or two last names, that's just fucked. My GF grew up with a boy named Johnson. How messed up must his childhood have been?
