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
I love that the mum is angry that her daughter is ‘not learning to write her name correctly’ and completely ignoring the fact that her work is completely wrong.
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...
We didn’t realize my great-uncle’s name was Bill-Lee instead of Billy until we read his obituary. Should’ve figured. All his siblings had hyphenated names although none went by them.
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.
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
My sister is named after my aunties, Norah-May. Fortunately she wasn't named after my other aunts Ginnifer and Winifred. Ginny-Winny was a serious contender for about 5 months.
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.
We live in Mexico and I have to explain all the time why we don't have the two last names, and why I have the same last name as my husband. ;-) But, when your passport is used for all of your paperwork...
I wonder if after yelling for the first three for dinner, they decided that Frank saved their lung power. I grew up with a family of seven children, with the father a retired officer and the mother a retired military as well. Granted that half of them only had double names, it would have been a longer yelling for dinner for them. I had to admit even when we were 1/2 mile to a mile up the hillside, we could hear suppertime from the father for all his kids. Man, that is lung power, especially with seven kids. It was awesome him and the family.
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. 😑
@@kellyriddell5014 true. Although when he started work at 15, he was too shy to tell them he was called Billy. He worked for the same company for almost 50 years. We used to have to remember to ask for George if we rang him at work..and if he ran into someone down the street, we always knew if they were a work colleague or a person from his other life, family, scouts or church by which name they called him. If it was George it was work, if it was Bill it was everything else lol.
Did anyone else feel a sympathy pain for John Davidson when he realized he'd disappointed Mrs. Miller (who you know is his momma's friend and has been like an aunt to him his whole life)?
I love this 🙌🏻😂 As a Latina, we carry 2 last names and they are never hyphenated. We have a first name, middle name, paternal last name & maternal last name. When women get marry they don’t get their husbands last name,. So when a couple have kids, this kids carry both of their progenitors last names. Fist their dads and then theirs moms. Women count too you know 💁🏻♀️

My brother had a triple name because when the next door neighbor was trying to think of it (she had three sons of her own), she'd call him "Bobby-Joey-OhshitJim". Miss you, Jeanine!
My grandfather from Mississippi's name went in the other direction, which is giving initials as a complete name. His was W.L. That's it -- that's the whole name: W.L. Stood for nothing but the sounds "double-you-ell", "Dub" for short. The Army was very perplexed and kept trying to give him fill-in names.
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!
@@redrooster1908 Oh, it can be much worse. I shouldn't tell this, but I will. A friend told me this, in whom I would trust my life with, honest as the day is long, so I know it's true. She worked at a hospital discharging patients. A woman was being discharged after giving birth to twin baby girls, she said the babies were just adorable. She asked her what names she chose...the woman said she found two names in a book that she thought were French, and she pronounced them in sort of a French-sounding way....on paper, though, they were "Syphilis"- with emphasis on "phyllis" (her mom's name)", and "Gonorrhea"- sounding like "ga-nora", and call her "Nora".

In my experience that isn’t common at all lmao, especially among friends. Maybe if you’re talking about somebody your aren’t familiar with or to somebody who may not know who you’re talking about. But among friends?
This is quite amusing to me because I’m Australian & we do things the complete opposite. Not only will we not use your full name, but we’ll shorten it as much as we can & probably give you a totally different nickname if we like you.
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
You can try this if you want but please repent of your sins anyone because Jesus christ died on the cross for you and he payed the wages of sin so all you have to do is srecive it you can do this by saying Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and life. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. 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! John 3:16 says but remember just because God is not responding to your praying does not mean he is not there because God is there all you have to do is seek him and pray because he Adores you and cares about you because he is the one and only God,savior and creater!!
My southern grandmother and all my southern relatives always called me by my first and middle name. I find it endearing. This video is fun, especially the Mary part! 😊
My parents were at a parent-teacher meeting when this couple introduced their child by saying: “Her name is Laura Grace, and we want her called Laura Grace.” We still laugh about it today.
But imagine how it must feel to have to struggle to get people to call you what you want to be called. You introduce yourself like that so you don't have to say it again
@@jaer2354 Well...I know its slightly off topic and my own personal thing...but I wanted to note the subtle but important difference between "WE want her called" and "get people to call you what YOU want to be called".
I went to school with a girl name Albert-Nita which came from her parents combined names. She did not like people calling her just Nita so you had to say the whole tongue tying name 🙄 😏 but I just avoided saying her name at all🤣🤣🤣
I don't have a double name, but my momma does call me Lily Kathryn when I'm in trouble. Unfortunately as a kid I was in trouble so much that lots of people THOUGHT I had a double name.
My Mom's... You're too big for your britches, girl....angry name for girls was "Eloise Piffen-Poffer". Or Queen of Sheba if you acted high & mighty, snobby.
Love all the videos. I grew up in New England where I knew zero double named people, moved to the South, married a Southerner, and proudly gave my daughter a double first name.
I’m southern and can some one explain this to me. I had no idea that people made fun of us because of double names. I thought every part of the country has this.
@@James-sm5vg probably mostly a southern thing, but not exclusively. My parents were merciful...because our last name is huge, all three kids have a short one syllable first name and no middle name. In school there was a Margaret Ann but I can't think of any others (west coast for reference)
Yep, that was me throughout school...or "your parents should be ashamed of themselves for not giving you a middle name...mmmh hmmm" headshake of disapproval. Or once, "were your parents too busy or lazy to give you a middle name?" Now those were fighting words---kicked my cousin's butt---never liked her anyway...
(laughing) As a French Canadian (double names are common for us too), I can so relate to these things. I've got friends, an uncle, cousins and a kid with double names. My kid often goes by the first portion only with his English speaking friends and while I try to respect his preferences, it makes a little old-fashioned bit of me twitch.
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)
Pretty sure in Québec they had to pass a rule to restrict how many names you could give a child because it was getting too wild with the hyphens. I also remember a story book about a kid who hated having so many names (Marie-Soleil Lamontagne-Lafleur)
@@mimisparkles8765I had to look this up to see if it's true, and wow! Just. Wow. It went into effect this past June with a max set of 4 given names. You *know* things must've gotten to a level of absolute ridiculousness when even the GOVERNMENT has to step in! 😅😂🤣
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).
German has a word for it as well: Rufname = "call name". And we also underline our Rufname but only if it's not the first name. I think legally we can have up to 6 or 5 names but the most I've ever seen are 3.
It’s surprising to know how two totally unrelated cultures from entirely opposite parts of the world have occasional similarities. I come from a state in Southern India and we have double names too. I have struggled my entire life trying to explain to people from my own country and in the US what they should call me. I gave up later and I’m currently going by the first half of my double name 😂. It’s relieving to see there are other people from a different country like me
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.
Oh, same thing in Jamaica! Sara-Gay, Tomi-ann, Peter-gay. A friend and I were having a convo about what we'd want our names to be if it wasn't what we already have and I said Tony. He went "oh, like Tony-Ann?" And when I went "no, just tony" he was so baffled
Not Southern or even American but I love double names (without a hyphen 😂) and as a Nigerian with more names than letters in the alphabet I think the more the merrier 🤷🏾♀😂
More interesting to me is the Southern, or maybe just Tennessean, practice of naming a child, say, Tanner Joseph, and calling him Austin ( for example).
My mother has never been called by her first name, since they brought her home from the hospital. I’ve worked in healthcare/medicine for a while and so many charts have things like John David “Carl” Smith. Like calling someone Butch or Missy or Buddy is one thing. Calling someone a whole other name though?!
I grew up in the midwest and northeast. When I attended university in Texas I became aware of that phenomenon! First day of classes doing role call, half the people went by totally different names. LOL
We do that here in Trinidad and Tobago too... we call it a “house name” or “home name”. Something to do with not wanting people to know our real names in case someone with “bad mind” wants to practice Obea (black magic) on us lol
My parents are Indian immigrants, and I always found it so weird that my mom, and all of her siblings, names that they go by are COMPLETELY unrelated to their actual names...people don't even know what my mom's real name is haha...the other day a friend tried to give my mom a check for something and she was shocked when my mom told her she couldn't cash it cuz it didn't have her real name...they've been friends for more than ten years 🤣🤣 My parents always told me it was just an Indian thing, so it's interesting to see that it's also an American southern thing lol
I'm so southern even my CAT has a double name! It's Thelma Mae after my dear late aunt. (Oh yeah, that's another thing we do here- name our pets after dead relatives.)

I don't have a double name but I gave my late daughter a double middle name in honor of both her grandmothers. Her name is Kadance Ruth-Ann. She would've turned 18 this year ❤
Awww thank you for the love. It's been 18 years since I gave her back to Jesus ❤ I'm trying to make her a big sister it just hasn't happened yet. Praying it will soon though 💜💗
My mom didn't intend to give me a double name, but when we lived in Oklahoma, I became Laura Lou. My mom had a heck of a time trying to explain to my teachers that I'm just Laura. I spent a lot of years as Laura Lou. It never bugged me, but wow, did it drive my mom bats.
I had a teacher give me the nickname Debbie Sue although I was just Debbie and my middle name was Lee. I loved it, and it made me feel special. I later learned her name was Debbie as well.
Same for me, lots of people called me Laura Beth when it was supposed to just be Laura, Beth was just a middle name! It drives me crazy to this day lol.
My husband’s side does multiple middle names for their kids, most of which are family names. For example, his little sister is Mattie Johanna Rose Irene. His younger brother is Gabriel Emory Patrick Scott. Our older niece was named after her dad (his name is Michael, so they named her Michaelon Vivian Irene Faith. Michael + Lynn).

My mother was "Betty June". The older she got, the more surly she was when people called her "Betty". By 93, she would have a full out hissy fit if you addressed her as anything but Betty June. I made sure the obituary didn't just start with Betty June but then referred to her as Betty June the rest of the time. Didn't need the feeling she was growling at me from Above...
I think it's sweet and wonderful that you made sure they referred to her correctly the whole time in her obituary since you knew it meant so much to her that people got it right. June is a beautiful name so if that was part of my name, I would make sure people remembered it too!
I'm glad they included a few male examples as an Alabamian with a double name Tristan-Blaine this was very relatable, I have dropped Blaine in most settings but my family won't acknowledge that lmao
My mom's name was Virginia, she answered to any variation of it, Ginny, etc. Me I was a stickler for answering to my name and would correct people all the time. Then I just stopped and answered to any variation of Anne, Annie, whatever.
While I don't have a double name, my given name is a nickname. I now prefer to be called just the one name, the nickname (without my "slave" last name, aka my married last name---most people butcher its pronunciation anyway). The biggest thing is: just call me for supper!!
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.
okay so william is your first name? joseph your first middle name, james the second and robert the third? johnson is your last name. at least that's how it works in germany 😂
My friend's name is Virginiagrace. She also has a middle name and a hard to pronounce last name. Her last name is not the same as her parents, rather a family name. Her parents both had the same last name before marriage and her middle name is their last name. (like, if their last name was Jamison, her name would be Virginiagrace Jamison Lastname). Her parents and brother all kept the original last name though, so she has a different last name than her entire family, making everything seem more confusing than it is. We just call her Grace :)
That just sounds like her real dad is someone else..or she was adopted and they chose to keep her original last name. For what reason would you give your child an unrelated last name?
OMG I never even even noticed at 0:52 the lady in the car is more concerned about "Sarah" than the fact her kid flunked an assignment. I am dying over here!!!!

A long name with a space in it is fine. The real problem is when you get into things like "I only have one name" or "I have two completely different personal names and which one I use depends on the language it's being used in.", "My name can be written in any of three different writing systems, including two that are phonetic and one that's logographic", "I don't have a surname, I have a patronymic, which is NOT a surname and should NOT be used as a surname under any circumstances", "The order that my name is said/written depends on which language you're speaking and I'll re-arrange your name and/or transpose it between writing systems to match my language's depending on whether you did the same to mine, unless you speak English.", "My surname has a prefix that should not be treated as part of the surname when sorting." "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’m not southern but my Grandmother from Missouri was Mary-Lee and she insisted that one of her granddaughters have a “Mary” name and my mother named me Maribeth. She chose to change the spelling and not hyphenate it. So I get the video a lot, I’ve had so much more difficulty with my name especially in school. And then to top it off I married my husband who has a hyphenated last name so, I’m just used to have to put a little more explanation into having people understand my name. ☺️
My mom named me and my siblings after saints and my sister is Marianna (for the same reason of not wanting a hyphen) but my brother and I joke that she is so perfect she got named after two saints😂
My favorite things about the double names is it tell me who’s known my family longest. People where my mother is from will call me by my first and middle even though I don’t have a double name. Same for my sister and father. People basically everywhere else don’t use my mother’s second name and at first she tried to tell them different, but she gave up a while ago. So now I know who all the old family friends are based on how they start a conversation with mother dearest.

I know a girl from Alabama who named her son South. A pair of Alabama RUclipsrs I watch (Cullen and Katie) named their daughter Macey Gaines and their son Brooks Walker. She goes by Macey Gaines or Gaines (never just Macey) and Brooks goes by Brooks. It’s my understanding Gaines’ name came from Cullen’s side (his grandma’s maiden name) and Walker is Katie’s maiden name. I could be remembering wrong though.

Their 6 boys are Blu Wellington, Tag Brickers, Layke Bryars, Saylor Briggs, Bridge Ryder, Wales Tucker. Their 3 girls are Rivers McCall, Rayne McCoy, and Rawlings McClaine. I’m not sure the story behind their names though. Saylor is the oldest and a singleton, Bridge and Wales are next and are twins, and Blu, Tag, Layke, Rivers, Rawlings, and Rayne are sextuplets.

Not quite the same, but you get kind of the same experience with reading Russian literature. A lot of the characters get referred to by a whole bunch of names, depending on formality of the conversation, and Russians typically have three names like Americans but there are some contexts where any of the three names will be used on its own.... and then you have nicknames, where (at least in classic literature) a character sometimes gets called by multiple different nicknames. Because of all this, it's not uncommon for someone just picking up Russian literature for the first time to be confused as to why there seem to be hundreds of characters that they have to keep track of
:)) I figured out not far into "crime and punishment" how Russian middle names work (it's the first name of their father) but the nicknames that sound nothing like the original name were quite a challenge.
@@aszechy yeah, Russian nicknames are weird even for native russian speakers but we are just used to them and remember them. In English you can see such stuff as well (Richard = Dick, etc)
I was reading the Wikipedia page for a Russian saint (auto translated) and one sentence used four different versions of his name. Luckily being slightly familiar with Russian names I wasn’t particularly confused but it was amusing.
Haha) I am Ukrainian, Russian is my native language. For me it is such a surprise that this is difficulty for foreigner readers because this is my native language and we use these short names all that time. For example, Anna can be Annya, can be Nyusha, Nyushenka or can be Annushka. And for old books, there is father's name after actual first name))

She then calls me Catherine Mary, and I tell her no, it's Mary Catherine ( last name), and the C stands for Catherine. She said that no one would understand that, and let's just say that I re educated the poor girl, bless her heart.
The funniest thing is when you have someone like 'mary-elizabeth' who just goes by 'mary-beth.' Like. Picking and choosing what abbreviations are acceptable are can be amusing...
A good friend of mine was named Laura Lee Elizabeth Montgomery...she had all kinds of problems, just filling out forms getting the entire name in the space.
Although I was raised in a very southern way I didn't give my children double names. My side of the family always calls my children by their first & middle names. It's a southern thing, I just leave it be, bless their hearts.
@anthonydereck298@ Umm, NO! I don't make "friends" with scammers who steal photos to use as their profile photo & make up a fake name, or at least, not the name of the person in the photo. Scamming methods are so well known, the cash flow from deceiving people, is ending!
Haha my grandmother’s name was Sarah Elizabeth and the school accidentally dropped the Sarah from her name. Since her family only called her Liza-Mae my mom didn’t realize my grandmother’s first name was Sarah until she named my older sister at birth Sarah. She was 25 lol. Southerners.
Schools are infamous for life long name changes. We had 2 boys in kindergarten names Jim. Teacher dubbed one "James" and the other "Mark" - his middle name. James and Mark still to this day 50 years later.
@@goodasgoing they would just have a bunch of names each. Me and my brother both have a first name, a middle name, my mother's family name and my father's family name. And that's kind of the norm.

When you're southern and Hispanic, we got quadruple names and no hyphens
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.

My grandfather's siblings were named Irma Lee, John Dee, and William Earl (aka: Willy Merle) but his name was ....... Frank.
🤣🤣🤣 Gotta love it!
I wonder if after yelling for the first three for dinner, they decided that Frank saved their lung power. I grew up with a family of seven children, with the father a retired officer and the mother a retired military as well. Granted that half of them only had double names, it would have been a longer yelling for dinner for them. I had to admit even when we were 1/2 mile to a mile up the hillside, we could hear suppertime from the father for all his kids. Man, that is lung power, especially with seven kids. It was awesome him and the family.

Willy Merle is a good nickname

And my biggest worry in naming my kid was making sure their initials didn't make a word by accident

As a Latina, we carry 2 last names and they are never hyphenated. We have a first name, middle name, paternal last name & maternal last name. When women get marry they don’t get their husbands last name,. So when a couple have kids, this kids carry both of their progenitors last names. Fist their dads and then theirs moms. Women count too you know 💁🏻♀️
So if mom and dad have two last names each, which of the four last names will the kids get?

My grandfather from Mississippi's name went in the other direction, which is giving initials as a complete name. His was W.L. That's it -- that's the whole name: W.L. Stood for nothing but the sounds "double-you-ell", "Dub" for short. The Army was very perplexed and kept trying to give him fill-in names.
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!

(laughing) As a French Canadian (double names are common for us too), I can so relate to these things. I've got friends, an uncle, cousins and a kid with double names. My kid often goes by the first portion only with his English speaking friends and while I try to respect his preferences, it makes a little old-fashioned bit of me twitch.
And we have double last names. I feel bad for the kids with 4 names
I’m French Canadian too and I usually refer to my friends with nicknames or initials, I agree that double names are a pain
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)
Pretty sure in Québec they had to pass a rule to restrict how many names you could give a child because it was getting too wild with the hyphens.
I also remember a story book about a kid who hated having so many names (Marie-Soleil Lamontagne-Lafleur)
@@mimisparkles8765I had to look this up to see if it's true, and wow! Just. Wow. It went into effect this past June with a max set of 4 given names.

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).
The Finns are way ahead even in names
That is interesting! Appreciate you sharing it.
Wow that's amazing. Learned something new today. Thank you 😊

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.

@@gracehaven5459 for the longest time growing up I had no idea if my grandmother's name Mary Ann, Mary middle name Ann, or Maryanne. Confused the heck out of me for years.
My 20 year southern BFF has a double name that, as a northerner, I never got the hang of. Now it's just become a thing for us that I am the only one allowed to single name her as a badge of solidarity between us. That said, this video makes me feel really stonking bad that I never got the hang of it in the first place and that it ever came to that.

@@JAF1323 I'm not familiar with that name.
It’s somebody from a play.
That's my name too!!!
Ohhh yaaaa know it from the go fish guys 😁 wish I was still a child...
I don't have a double name but I gave my late daughter a double middle name in honor of both her grandmothers. Her name is Kadance Ruth-Ann. She would've turned 18 this year ❤
I'm sorry for your loss. 💔
💔
Awww thank you for the love. It's been 18 years since I gave her back to Jesus ❤ I'm trying to make her a big sister it just hasn't happened yet. Praying it will soon though 💜💗
So sorry. Love the name & hope she’s a big sister very soon!❤️
Awww...so she passed away? RIP.
My mom didn't intend to give me a double name, but when we lived in Oklahoma, I became Laura Lou. My mom had a heck of a time trying to explain to my teachers that I'm just Laura. I spent a lot of years as Laura Lou. It never bugged me, but wow, did it drive my mom bats.
Cousin Mary Louise in Minnesota, has been "Weezie" for 80 years
I had a teacher give me the nickname Debbie Sue although I was just Debbie and my middle name was Lee. I loved it, and it made me feel special. I later learned her name was Debbie as well.
That's so cute that in your case it's the reverse of this video.
Same for me, lots of people called me Laura Beth when it was supposed to just be Laura, Beth was just a middle name! It drives me crazy to this day lol.
The funniest was the ER personnel telling the patient , she would have to "re-do" all her paperwork. That was so real it's hilarious. 🤣
When he roll calls " Mary Katherine" " Mary Elizabeth" I giggled. I had a friend in grade school named Mary Katherine Elizabeth. THREE NAMES, YA'LL!
My husband’s side does multiple middle names for their kids, most of which are family names. For example, his little sister is Mattie Johanna Rose Irene. His younger brother is Gabriel Emory Patrick Scott. Our older niece was named after her dad (his name is Michael, so they named her Michaelon Vivian Irene Faith. Michael + Lynn).
@@brittaniesidebottom this sounds great for when everyone wants to name the baby. We don’t even have a middle name where I live and when there is a new baby choosing one name can make some people upset.

It’s the same names recycled over and over. The double names are necessary.
Maybe just branch out a little.
When every southern woman is name Ann(e), Grace, Mary, or Elizabeth the extra name is necessary

Every time he said “Ann” my southern brain interpreted it as “and”. That’s the problem when a double name starts with “Ann”.

I grew up Laura Ann Thornton. In first grade it took up the whole front side of a sheet of tablet paper!
aaaa so it’s Ann... i was like ”where’s the joke” with tht one 😅

Don't have a double name but I do have a double surname. It's the norm in Portuguese and Hispanic tradition

Right? And if anybody in adulthood should make the mistake of saying your total entire name, you get flashbacks to being in the deepest shit as a kid :P :D
Triple name and double surname because, you know, Mexico! Oh! And whole my life I only used my third name but now I live in the States and only use my first name because is easiest and I am married so basically I have a name that I use in Mexico and other for the States.

My mother was "Betty June". The older she got, the more surly she was when people called her "Betty". By 93, she would have a full out hissy fit if you addressed her as anything but Betty June. I made sure the obituary didn't just start with Betty June but then referred to her as Betty June the rest of the time. Didn't need the feeling she was growling at me from Above...
I have twin aunts called Betty June and Betty May their entire lives. Their actual names were Elizabeth Magdalene and Magdalene Elizabeth.
Hissy fit, if that's not a southern phrase 😄
I think it's sweet and wonderful that you made sure they referred to her correctly the whole time in her obituary since you knew it meant so much to her that people got it right. June is a beautiful name so if that was part of my name, I would make sure people remembered it too!

"I'm just so tired!" - I've totally been there with my double name. I've gotten to the point now I just respond to any variation of my name.
same!!!!
My mom's name was Virginia, she answered to any variation of it, Ginny, etc. Me I was a stickler for answering to my name and would correct people all the time. Then I just stopped and answered to any variation of Anne, Annie, whatever.
While I don't have a double name, my given name is a nickname. I now prefer to be called just the one name, the nickname (without my "slave" last name, aka my married last name---most people butcher its pronunciation anyway). The biggest thing is: just call me for supper!!
Me too. I even get called Marybeth or Elizabeth.
If someone calls me Lee I won't even notice they're referring to me its so bad
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 do have one :-)
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 😉
As a two-name girl with no hyphen, I felt these women’s pain, being shortened all the time.
My real name is William Joseph James Robert Johnson. Most people call me Billy Joe Jim Bob for short. My Yankee friends call me Bob.
Where does your name end and middle name begin? How are people suppose to know which names are your first names? Very curious.
That's funny! True or not, that's funny!
Reminds me of my nephew’s long name. His full name is Elijah Jerry Jay James Decker. He goes by Eli.
Ha! 🤣 that’s like a tongue twister!
okay so william is your first name? joseph your first middle name, james the second and robert the third? johnson is your last name. at least that's how it works in germany 😂
By high school, those teachers are either just calling last names or telling you to check yourself in on the list by the door lmao
True
Not in my high school
My friend's name is Virginiagrace. She also has a middle name and a hard to pronounce last name. Her last name is not the same as her parents, rather a family name. Her parents both had the same last name before marriage and her middle name is their last name. (like, if their last name was Jamison, her name would be Virginiagrace Jamison Lastname). Her parents and brother all kept the original last name though, so she has a different last name than her entire family, making everything seem more confusing than it is.
We just call her Grace :)
"The parents had the same last name before marriage" and that explains sooooo much.
@puppiesrule nah, just a common last name 😆
How's that possible? I thought there was some kind of law or rule that made the kids' surname the same as their parents' surname
@@s_quasimodo I don't really know how. That's just how it is!
That just sounds like her real dad is someone else..or she was adopted and they chose to keep her original last name. For what reason would you give your child an unrelated last name?

A long name with a space in it is fine. The real problem is when you get into things like "I only have one name" or "I have two completely different personal names and which one I use depends on the language it's being used in.", "My name can be written in any of three different writing systems, including two that are phonetic and one that's logographic", "I don't have a surname, I have a patronymic, which is NOT a surname and should NOT be used as a surname under any circumstances", "The order that my name is said/written depends on which language you're speaking and I'll re-arrange your name and/or transpose it between writing systems to match my language's depending on whether you did the same to mine, unless you speak English.", "My surname has a prefix that should not be treated as part of the surname when sorting." "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’m not southern but my Grandmother from Missouri was Mary-Lee and she insisted that one of her granddaughters have a “Mary” name and my mother named me Maribeth. She chose to change the spelling and not hyphenate it. So I get the video a lot, I’ve had so much more difficulty with my name especially in school. And then to top it off I married my husband who has a hyphenated last name so, I’m just used to have to put a little more explanation into having people understand my name. ☺️
I think having long names is cool. I don’t have one myself, but I feel like if I did I’d announce it all the time like I was royalty
Your name could be pronounced without the hard E sound of Mary and no one would question it
I have a niece named after her grandmother MariLou. Her name is Maribeth, also.
So what would you name a child?
My mom named me and my siblings after saints and my sister is Marianna (for the same reason of not wanting a hyphen) but my brother and I joke that she is so perfect she got named after two saints😂
My favorite things about the double names is it tell me who’s known my family longest. People where my mother is from will call me by my first and middle even though I don’t have a double name. Same for my sister and father. People basically everywhere else don’t use my mother’s second name and at first she tried to tell them different, but she gave up a while ago. So now I know who all the old family friends are based on how they start a conversation with mother dearest.

She goes by Macey Gaines or Gaines (never just Macey) and Brooks goes by Brooks. It’s my understanding Gaines’ name came from Cullen’s side (his grandma’s maiden name) and Walker is Katie’s maiden name. I could be remembering wrong though. And another couple I watch on a TLC show called Sweet Home Sextuplets have 9 kids and are also from Alabama. Their 6 boys are Blu Wellington, Tag Brickers, Layke Bryars, Saylor Briggs, Bridge Ryder, Wales Tucker. Their 3 girls are Rivers McCall, Rayne McCoy, and Rawlings McClaine. I’m not sure the story behind their names though. Saylor is the oldest and a singleton, Bridge and Wales are next and are twins, and Blu, Tag, Layke, Rivers, Rawlings, and Rayne are sextuplets.

Wait, wait, if they have a double name, how do they know when they are in trouble?
Cause they usually have a middle name too or, like my mama did, she called you by ALL your names!
The middle name comes out too.
At least in my family it depended on the level of anger - name = irked. Name + middle name = mad. Name + middle name + last name = you better have a last will and testament.
My people call me by a pet name. It means no trouble.
If they call my first name or double name, there's some trouble but mostly mild
Full name means death 🙃
My son doesn't have a middle name and when he's in trouble, first and last name 🤣
Not quite the same, but you get kind of the same experience with reading Russian literature. A lot of the characters get referred to by a whole bunch of names, depending on formality of the conversation, and Russians typically have three names like Americans but there are some contexts where any of the three names will be used on its own.... and then you have nicknames, where (at least in classic literature) a character sometimes gets called by multiple different nicknames. Because of all this, it's not uncommon for someone just picking up Russian literature for the first time to be confused as to why there seem to be hundreds of characters that they have to keep track of
:)) I figured out not far into "crime and punishment" how Russian middle names work (it's the first name of their father) but the nicknames that sound nothing like the original name were quite a challenge.
@@aszechy yeah, Russian nicknames are weird even for native russian speakers but we are just used to them and remember them. In English you can see such stuff as well (Richard = Dick, etc)
Yes, That confused me in Crime and Punishment.
I was reading the Wikipedia page for a Russian saint (auto translated) and one sentence used four different versions of his name. Luckily being slightly familiar with Russian names I wasn’t particularly confused but it was amusing.
Haha) I am Ukrainian, Russian is my native language. For me it is such a surprise that this is difficulty for foreigner readers because this is my native language and we use these short names all that time.
For example, Anna can be Annya, can be Nyusha, Nyushenka or can be Annushka.
And for old books, there is father's name after actual first name))
I literally had a lady try and argue with me about my double name. She wanted to call me Mary, and I told her my name was Mary Catherine, and it'll appear on my account as Mary C. She then calls me Catherine Mary, and I tell her no, it's Mary Catherine ( last name), and the C stands for Catherine. She said that no one would understand that, and let's just say that I re educated the poor girl, bless her heart.
