Patronymics are often ignored in English to avoid confusion. You'll have heard of Flora MacDonald who rowed Bonnie Prince Charlie over the sea to Skye. Flora MacDonald, correctly speaking, makes her Flora son of Donald.

We should have that system here.

People would be more careful about giving their kids idiotic forenames if they thought that it would form the basis of surnames for future generations.

Imagine if you were going to lumber your family with a surname like ...

HarperSevenSon

PeachesDaughter

FifiTrixibelleSon

... etc ...

I saw the programme and love it when Bradley gets the giggles at a question or answer and can't control himself, makes me lol

This one is a classic, brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it
