My first exposure to the Hispanic double last names was in boot camp. A fellow in my platoon put both of his last names in the paperwork. It went in as a singe name: Cedenoescalante. The drill instructors just called the poor fellow "Alphabet". I think he revised the paperwork after he graduated to just go with Cedeno. (It's Cedeño, but I don't think they had a ñ.) Spending time in South America in more recent years, I've gotten quite used to the double last names.

Please do this so you dont have to burn in hell for eternity and if you do this and TRULY belive and have faith you will be saved and whoever belives in him shall not perish but have eternal life with God!

They used to do that in the US as well. When I was a kid, everyone had a short nickname. I always felt the switch to more "official" nicknames was a little pretentious. It doesn't matter a lot, though - no matter what your parents want you to be called, your friends will eventually devise a nickname for you.

Same here in the Philippines. We have a lot of English/Anglo first names because of the huge American influence on culture here, but we can be so lazy that we'll shorten it to make it as monosyllabic as possible. Andrea becomes Drea becomese Drei. Colloquially, we just end up calling each other either 'girl' or 'boy' in our local dialectic versions because remembering names is honestly too exhausting in 2021 lol

Thats how I feel when people say the word "actually" around me and I think their saying Ashleigh.

In Finland you can have four names, and each can be a double name, but double names have to be hyphenated. A-B C-D E-F G-H, and then some have hyphenated last names, meaning ten names in total. We number the names, and the one we go by is called kutsumanimi. Kutsuma, this form doesn't exist in English... in it's basic form it's kutsua=to call, nimi=name, so basically it translates to "the name one is called by". With Finns I use my first name, but with everyone who doesn't speak Finnish, I either use my second or third, depending which is easier to pronounce. I also know many families that use the second name as the main name, and many who use different names with different people. So their childhood friends might call them by their second name, UNI friends by first and coworkers by third. In all formal papers we have to write our whole name, then either underline, circle or write separately the name we are called by. The name you are called by doesn't have to be your official name, it can be shortened version, for instance Jonathan to John (not a Finnish name, but an example that is easy to understand).

Don't hold it against them. They can not help it if they do not have a high enough intelligence to comprehend double names. It is too much for their brain to process. I am from South East Texas. A lot of us have the double names. Here in America they are quick to make fun of, and criticize Southerners. This is because we want freedom and deny socialism and/or big government. Now they can make fun of us, but God forbid should we make fun of them. Part of that double standard the Yankees (Northerners) love to practice. But I do not let it get me angry. I simply understand why they do what they do. They fear us Southerners because our religion gives us an inner strength, they do not possess, because they do not have religion. It is why they are trying to destroy religion. When they make fun of us, it is like the stupid kid that is always jealous of the smart kid. Once you understand this, you learn to just pity them, shake your head, say a little prayer for them and move on. There are a lot of low intelligent people out there that are always trying to bring down the rest of us. India: I love your architecture. You are a beautiful people with a rich heritage. Be proud.

Its interesting to me that a mountain range can make such a difference in where the double name is placed. Up here in Appalachia, its not uncommon to have a double middle name, but a double first name isn't something you see as much of. I was originally going to be given a double middle name (Everett O'Dell after my granddads) but then my momma was worried that people would be weird about me being the only boy in my generation of cousins that wasn't "II" -- so my daddy was just like "fine, we'll give him my middle name, but that's it!" 😂

"But my surname has a prefix that DOES affect how the name is sorted.", "I have a first name, a patronymic, and a surname, but the patronymic is not a middle name and should not be used as one", "I not only have a double personal name, but also two surnames either one of which can be doubled up using a hyphen." , and "I have the misfortune of being Elon Musk's son"

I was born in the North, but am another Ann combo. 😋 I have been a hyper but creative since I was young, and am usually working on at least a dozen projects at a time. My name is long, with a hyphen and two accents. I remember being upset I couldn't spell it in the first grade, but decided to study for the spelling test, finish whatever my main project was (clay beads?) and put spelling my name on the back burner. I have that sorted now! 😋

One of these moments when you think "how did I get here?!" -- so, I'm German, and we do have double names, but if people go by them they're usually written in one word (we have a thing where we write two words as one, don't ask, it's weird) like Annabella, Heidemarie or Marianne. Now, that I think about it, these kinds of names are actually quite common. They aren't regarded as two names though, but as one. Hyphenated names are also possible but regarded as lower class, as tacky. Names like Sarah-Michelle for example (sorry to every Sarah-Michelle, I know you're a great person). I didn't know double names were a common thing in the South of the US. I strangely feel more educated now, thank you. I have only one name by the way. It sucks. I wish I had more.

That's right. Annelore, Hermann-Josef, Franz-Josef, Klaus-Dieter. The list goes on. We actually call Klaus-Dieter, or whatever it is by their full names. I myself only have one name and people shorten it to: Gab, Gabbi, Gabs.

In Italy middle names are very uncommon and nobody wants to be called both names anyway lol. We do have names that are technically two names but they're regarded as one and they can be written as a single word or two words (such as Gianmarco or Pierluigi). Then we also have a lot of women of the older generation who are called Maria something (Maria Vittoria, Maria Rosa, Maria Grazia). They usually go by their 'second' name or they use both.

I've never heard of hyphenated names being "lower class" but then I also just know people with hyphenated names like Anna-Lena which can be just a normal name. Most people I know (me too) have a middle name but its like a "secret" name? like nobody knows it exists and half of the time we forget that we have a middle name because we only write it if the have to write the whole name as it is on our passport.

Mandarina is a pretty cool and delicious name though 😉
