1. In Europe, the Romans started calling people by their given name and family name in Latin from 300 BC, but it wasn't common practice throughout Europe until the 10th or 11th century, when first, the lords and gentry, then middle-class citizens, and finally everyone used surnames. The necessity for surnames arose when the population began to grow. Suddenly there was more than one person with the same name in a village, so surnames were used. Generally, these surnames were not handed down to the next generation, but after the fall of the Roman Empire, Ireland was one of the first countries to adopt hereditary surnames, and Irish surnames are found as early as the10th century.
在欧洲，罗马人从公元前300年起就用拉丁文的姓和名来称呼别人，但是一直到公元10或者11世纪，这种做法才在整个欧洲流行起来，最先是在贵族阶层中间，然后是城市的中产阶级，到最后所有人都开始使用姓氏。因为随着人口的增长，姓氏就显得越来越有必要了。忽然间，在一个村子里出现了两个同名的人，所以人们就开始用姓氏来区分他们。一般来说，这些姓氏不会传给下一代，但在罗马帝国灭亡后，爱尔兰成了最早使用世袭姓氏的欧洲国家之一，而且爱尔兰姓氏早在公元10世纪就出现了。
2. To make matters more complicated, a survey out last week suggests teenagers are a lot more conservative than we might think. They're in favour of the monarchy, long prison sentences and patriotism, so this would lead us to believe they'd be against having silly names such as Rawlplug.
But my oldest daughter disagrees. On a really, really drunken night, my wife and I seriously thought about calling her Boadicea, but the following day over the Nurofen we went for Emily. And now she's livid about it, riding around the garden with knives on her bicycle wheels, saying we were dull and unimaginative.
