A distinctive feature of Anglophone names is the surnames of important families used as given names, originally to indicate political support or patronage. Many examples have now become normal names chosen because parents like them, and any political sense lost. Most are male names like Cecil, Gerald<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (October 2023)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup>, Howard, Percy, Montague, Stanley or Gordon, though some of those some have female versions like Cecilia or Geraldine. Other languages have few equivalents, although the saint's surname Xavier is often used by Roman Catholics. </p><p>During the majority of the 19th century, the most popular given names were <a href="/wiki/Mary_(given_name)" class="mw-redirect" title="Mary (given name)">Mary</a> for girls and either <a href="/wiki/John_(given_name)" title="John (given name)">John</a> or <a href="/wiki/William_(name)" class="mw-redirect" title="William (name)">William</a> for boys. Throughout the Early Modern period, the diversity of given names was comparatively small; the three most frequent male given names accounted for close to 50% of the male population throughout this period. For example, of the boys born in London in the year 1510, 24.4% were named <a href="/wiki/John_(given_name)" title="John (given name)">John</a>, 13.3% were named <a href="/wiki/Thomas_(name)" title="Thomas (name)">Thomas</a> and 11.7% were named William.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A trend towards more diversity in given names began in the mid-19th century, and by 1900, only 22.9% of the newborn boys, and 16.2% of the newborn girls in the UK shared the top three given names for each gender. The trend continued during the 20th century, and by 1994, these figures had fallen to 11% and 8.6%, respectively. This trend is a result of a combination of greater <a href="/wiki/Individualism" title="Individualism">individualism</a> in the choice of names, and the increasing <a href="/wiki/Immigration_to_the_United_Kingdom_since_1922" class="mw-redirect" title="Immigration to the United Kingdom since 1922">ethnic heterogeneity</a> of the UK population, which led to a wider range of frequent given names from non-European traditions.

These were not always regularly formed: for example, the sons of a certain French named Robert used a modern inheritable surname, <i><a href="/wiki/FitzGerald_(surname)" title="FitzGerald (surname)">FitzGerald</a></i>, in honour of an earlier relative, named <i>Gerald</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-From_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-From-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>While it is normal for a child to be given one of their parents' surnames, traditionally the father's (or increasingly some combination of the two), there is nothing in UK law that explicitly requires this. Under English common law, a person may use any name as a legal name, though most people use their birth name (as registered on the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Register_of_Births,_Marriages_and_Deaths&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Register of Births, Marriages and Deaths (page does not exist)">Register of Births, Marriages and Deaths</a>, regulated by the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1987/2088/made">Registration of Births and Deaths Regulations 1987</a>, which allows only characters that are used in English or Welsh), often using a spouse's surname (proved with a marriage certificate), or (if an adult) a name formally declared by <a href="/wiki/Deed_of_change_of_name" title="Deed of change of name">deed poll</a>. No regulations include any specific provisions regarding what names are acceptable. Nonetheless, the <a href="/wiki/General_Register_Office" title="General Register Office">General Register Office</a> and various organizations that help with creating and enrolling deed polls will reject anything that is unreasonable (racist, offensive, fraudulent, implying a title of nobility not held, unpronounceable, not in the Latin script, etc.). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Compound_surnames">Compound surnames</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=English_name&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Compound surnames"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Double-barrelled_name" title="Double-barrelled name">Double-barrelled name</a></div> <p>Double-barrelled names may be formed for a variety of reasons, including combining of spouses' surnames upon marriage or, more commonly in the past, adding another family's surname as a condition of inheritance.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Compound surnames in English feature two or more words, often joined by a hyphen or hyphens: for example, <a href="/wiki/Henry_Hepburne-Scott,_10th_Lord_Polwarth" title="Henry Hepburne-Scott, 10th Lord Polwarth">Henry Hepburne-Scott</a>.
