is it common to give your last name as a second name to a child?

I suppose the baby is not jewish as Chelsea has not converted[/quote]

Yes, that's common. Where are you from that you don't know that?[/quote]
Everyone that I know have a name that could also be a first name as a second name. This must be a new American custm. [b]If you look at genealogy[/b], there is no great granny Agnes Jones Smith, Alexander Kardasian Hilton[/quote]

Actually in my family tree this was somewhat common in the late 1800s and early to mid 1900s. A few examples: Father "Alfred Jones" and mother "Elorza York" have son "Nicholas York Jones" or even Father "Jacob Hartzell" and Mother "Ellen Tuverne" have daughter "Susan Tuverne Hartzell" and later son "Edward Tuverne Hartzell".

Not saying my experience is representative, but this custom certainly isn't unheard of. I think it's nice because it allows for some connection to the maternal family line.

Pretty name, sweet baby, congratulations and best wishes to the happy new parents.[/quote]
yikes. What awful names[/quote]
