Re: Compound names
Well... the reason might seem meaningless... So don't get angry if you think it is so... But I was designing characters for a story I am writing and the 9 characters were labelled A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I at first... Without thinking of the letters I assigned A to the Second name (sometimes someone can have two names) of the first character, B to the second surname (I use Spanish naming customs with an ocassional variant were the maternal surname may go first, specially if the character is female) of the second character, C to the first surname of the third character, D to the first surname of the fourth character, E to the first name of the fifth character, F to the second surname of the sixth character, G to the second surname of the 7th character, H to the second name in a compound name of the 8th character and finally I to the first surname of the ninth character... Then I realized my 8th character had an H in the second name of his compoound name (I broke it into 3 names, either second or first or second of compound name, 3 first surnames and 3 second surnames, my arrangement was about to get completely broken...) now since my character isn't German and slipping German ancestry in him wont work well I am justifying his name as something done in honor of a fictional Karlheinz who is a homage to the many Karlheinz I found in wikipedia (I Just need to get the maiden name of Karlheinz Brandenburg's mother to complete the homage)
