Baby Names

Names are funny things. They are very meaningful and yet really convey no intrinsic description of their subject. This is exempting a few naming-traditions that do seek more accuracy; such as adding “Jr.” or “-son”, or even the practice of delaying the issuance of names until later in life. There is a long tradition among many cultures of using names to indicate lineage. In Canada today, this usually means the using the Surname to indicate a patrilineal kinship. But this is by no means the only method for determining surnames. We see an increasing number of hyphenated last names nowadays, for instance.
