Hi, Ardith Hinton!
I read your message from 08.10.2024 21:36
AH>>> The author, BTW, is generally known Over Here as A. A.
AH>>> Milne.... :-)
AK>> I asked about the second name.
AH> Oh, I see. I`d describe the initials here as representing a
AH> person`s given names and "Milne" as a surname or family name.
AH> I understand these things work a bit differently WRT Russian
AH> names... and to complicate matters, a person`s given name may also
AH> be the mother`s maiden name and/or another individual`s surname
AH> where I come from.
Is it correct that a second name is always equal to a surname or family name?
AK>> How would you write it "Milne" or "Miln" if you never saw it
AK>> written.
AH> Well, it does rhyme with "kiln"... so if I`d never seen or heard
AH> this name before I might employ the latter until I had time to
AH> investigate further.
It remains to me only to wonder about the English language
evolution. How on earth you put a letter into the word and don`t pronounce
this letter. ;) Maybe Milne was spoken differently in the past?
Bye, Ardith!
