Names

Created Thursday 12 January 2023

People self-naming on a Naming Day (that varies between cultures, variance suggesting early twenties being the good lower minimum^[But few cultreus went up that high, so it's hard to disentangle effects out there.]). Part of that is choosing how much and what of one's heritage to include in that name. And defining what that heritage is.

So, yeah, surname says a lot if it's Smith or Jones.

Hibisucus "Bessy" OVER ICE

There indeed being a good number of people (n-gram-wise) who have "over" or "ice" in their surnames. Of course, formally affiliated yourself with them is an other thing.

So, yeah, what and how you choose your surname often says more about you than your taken name.

But it nonetheless does represent at least one occasion we give the members of our society when they can formally declare who they think they are. And accept whatever they say as what it is. Legally and socially.
