RS, I have a niece "Bryony" who points out the alternative spelling is a poisonous plant, so it tends to stick in people's heads thereafter. All 3 part of my name could be either first or family names. It used to cause moderate confusion in the school register, and so I answer to my last name too. (I also answer to "Mike" too, I've never figured out how Mark can sound that much like Mike, but hey ho!)

Diogenes Mar 2017 4:51pm, 27 Mar 2017 21,827 posts	Quote Pin Diogenes (I used to work with someone whose surname was Dave and whose first name was something that looked like a surname. For quite a while I just assumed it had been entered incorrectly in the address book.) And who reads email signatures, anyway?
