[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Double names for girls.[/quote] I have a double name. Hyphenated. I didn't choose it.[/quote] Well, nobody chooses their name. And people with double names aren’t bad. But it can sometimes (not always) be very much a class signifier for the parents.[/quote] Funny, to me it’s very Catholic working-class, but that just shows my own bias.[/quote] I'm with you on that. I also think of it as a Catholic working-class thing. [/quote] The difference between Catholic working class double names and “I’m better than you” double names is that the former are made up of two first names that honor saints, and the latter are made up of a classic first name plus an old family last name, lest anyone forget their provenance.
