Dear Russ and Pfalz Listers, The question came up about my Adam and his brother Andreas SEBASTIAN--maybe these were middle names? I sure have thought about it, and why not? My middle name is Sebastian. So is J.S. Bach's middle name. He had more talent then I did, through. He had some 16 children, I hear, and I had only two. AND all the sons were named Johann. Only the middle names changed. Yes I have thought about it. I don't know what to do about it. What do you other listers do about the practice of a father who names all his kids his own name?
