I like my name. It does rhyme with something rude, but I don't mind that so much.
My surname is pretty rare in this country but has popped up in history etc. It's cool, I like it. It's a Scottish name, so it has more roots in a particular area/group of people. It's nice to have a name with roots, I guess. Too many English names don't really mean much of anything, they're just occupational, or *something*'s son.

My first name's OK, inoffensive.

*something*'s son names are Norse in origin
and are more commonly found in the north east and Scotchland, accordingly.

Hope this helps.

ACTUALLY
they're also a strong tradition in the Saxon line. *something's*son is a theme you see in cultures with a strong oral history tradition. You see Thomsons and so on down South as much as you do in the North. Gaelic also has a "son of" prefix to a lot of names.

Just mean that the English versions don't tend to have a societal root. There's no tribal structure in the same way as the Gaelic versions.

Hope this helps. Also, you suck.

Isn't the Gaelic prefix 'O'?

Or Mac
they mean the same thing, though.
( Kroney, Fri 13 Apr 2012, 11:37, Reply)

O' means 'of the clan'
Mac means 'son of'
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Fri 13 Apr 2012, 11:39, Reply)

Mostly the same thing, then.
My point was that they're tribal identifiers, as opposed to English names, which aren't.
