Mary Mary????? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I want to Franciscan University and there were so many Mary double names it was almost comical, including a student who was a religious sister named Sister John Mary

Mary Mary? Oh, kinda like the gospel singers, lol.

This brings memories of Catholic school. I even had a cat named Mary.

Ahaha, wow! I only know the names Anne Marie and Marybeth. Thats amazing 😂

No, she had 2,5 questions right.

Brooke H . I don”t know the American grading system, but she had BAG and JAR right and she got a half point for SON (the correct word was SUN).

@@OP-1000 yeah in the US getting only 2 or 3 answers right out of 12 would be a failing grade.

Rose K . I was reacting to original comment. They said her work was completely wrong and I pointed out that she had 2,5 questions right.

But the paper is weird anyway. She wrote hat, where the picture of a hat is. But she got it wrong because apparently the word is hot. And cat has a picture of a crib...

me too!

Omg my siblings and I initials spell something. Cats, Eros, arts, Mars. No double names but two middle names. My parents thought they were hilarious. 😑

I know someone whose initials are AKA

Mine spells RAW My granddaddy’s were JEW, so my uncle & my cousin are both JEW as well.

I didn’t think of that and Melissa Ann Porter was not happy.

LOL - I'm dying. That's so good.

I remember watching Coal Miners daughter & Loretta's kids all had double names. Not proper names, nicknames. Jack Benny? I thought why his he named after a comedian? But they were all like that. Patsy, Peggy not Patricia or Margret. And then tack the Sue on of course.

Same with my grandma, she was called "elli" all her life, even her passport and all official documents were on that name, like bank accounts and stuff like that, but when she died we found the birth certificate which said "Elizabeth". I think my grandpa knew but for me it was mind blowing.

Hilarious that it wasn’t even “William-Lee”. 🤣😅 *_Humans are hilarious._*

Omg this reminds me of a high school friend in 9th grade who was named Lili-Ann but went by Lilly. She got into a lot of fights with the teacher over the spelling of her name, since she preferred Lilly over the weird spelling of Lillian

I was about to say, well, at least they sound good, she was lucky, when I read the rest of your comment and realized she was extremely lucky

Oh we still get that. It’s just a long list of names where each one escalates your panic

What'd you do? If you got a middle name level asswhooping what did you do?

Same for a friend of mine KC. His army name tag read K-only C-only because they did not use single letters.

My uncle middle name was just an S he used to tell stories about having problems anywhere they insisted on full legal names because they wouldn't believe it wasn't an initial. Eventually he had it changes to Ses and told everyone the first S is silent.

My family has called my brother by his first two initials (GW) pretty much all his life, until he went to high school and started going by his first name. It's still really confusing when his fiance calls him by his name rather than his initials!

I know someone like that in my church's district. They are older so I think that was common lol.

@@amazinggrace5692 I'm surprised they didn't use "Casey"

I have always been incredibly grateful my parents did not choose to do the traditional Hispanic last name. My mom’ maiden name is super Scottish and does not go with Hernandez at all. 🤣

😂🤣😂😂

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.

I'm an anglophone from BC, my mom gave me a double name for no reason. Simply just because she liked it that way. I love my name but it's caused problems trying to sign up for car insurance, banking system, etc because some systems don't allow spaces in first names (**** you, ICBC)

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.

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.

"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"
