    YES! Someone else who thinks like me :)

    I also don't like people with 2 christian names - like Craig David - but appreciate a surname can't be helped.

    I would accept a surname as a christian name, if the christian name was a surname.

    So many people have turned surnames into christian names now however, it's hard to differentiate what's a christian or a surname!

    I'm sure they will now re-evaluate their lives on the basis of your opinion.

    Have you got any examples? I can't think of any examples of people using their surnames as a first name apart from foreign footballers

    I think he's referring to Mason Holgate (for eg) as opposed to both names being same.

    What do we make of Neville Neville?

    It's a North American thing but it's definitely coming in here, mainly for boys

    Kids first names we've come across via school

    Harrison
    Anderson
    Tyler
    Mason
    Thompson
    Fletcher
    Jackson

    Don't forget that people's surnames often derive from the occupations people used to do centuries ago back, so they are definitely surnames being used as first names.

    Are you now in this country which seems to have parked itself next to the sun for a few months?

    If I was a psychologist, I would say tyke works in an almost entirely male-dominated environment, where they discuss things like this each day. I imagine there's massive displays of alpha-male behaviour, which is used to mask their inherent and very deep-rooted homosexual feelings for each other.
