first name, last name, middle name???

[karramba.ole]

Co jest co???

Z góry dziękuję za pomoc i świątecznie pozdrawiam :)

first name = imię
last name = nazwisko
middle name = drugie imię, jeśli sie ma

np. John Fitzgerald Kennedy

[kasiasmom]

Czasami middle name moze byc rowniez nazwiskiem panienskim kobiety, ktora po
zamazpojsciu decyduje sie je zatrzymac, i przyjac nazwisko meza jako last name,
tak np Jane Mary Smith after marrying Mr. Black, may become Jane Smith Black.

[deadeasy]

(UK) Middle name jest zawsze drugie imie (jesli ktos je ma) a nie czesc
nazwiska. Jesli kobieta chce zatrzymac "maiden name" to moze stworzyc nazwisko
dwuczlonowe, polaczone myslnikiem, ale zawsze bedzie to nazwisko.

Ponadto:
forename = christian name = first name = given name;
surname = last name = family name;

wiem).

In the UK couples sometimes decide to "double barrel" their surname, but that
is not considered to be a middle name, and usually has a hyphen between the two
surnames.

People pretend to be understanding about these cases but really nobody has any
kind of respect for a man who does not make a woman take his name. Not in their
heart of hearts. We simply think they are wimpish, and have less to do with
them than we otherwise would have.

The practice you are referring to is US, under the influence of Spanish
practice. These are people who aspire to be like the Hispanics around them, but
probably would not be happy with the same labour rate.

Actually, I think it is just the coincidence, that it reflects Hispanic custom -
I've seen a case that I just decribed some nineteen years ago (wife of a
distant relative of mine) and I assure you, she had no contact whith Hispanics
in her life, nor aspired to be like them. Hyphenating both last names, is of
course, another option. And if you are one of these condescending people you
described, I'm really happy that I don't know you!
