HelpRe: Kent
in reply to a message by ari.
Is it legally allowed in Poland to name a child Kowalski? I know that Germany and Sweden actually have laws against turning surnames into given names.
The custom of turning surnames into given names has been established in English-speaking countries for three centuries now so it's not going away. :)

It isn't, which is partially why I dislike it so much in English. I'm aware it's established in English and it's here to stay, but it feels unimaginative to me.
