I'm Forename as well.

I wonder if they've renamed all my ancestors as well.

I'll never get any contacts now. :-)

And just imagine. If you are Fore Name now and married a Mr Head, Arm, Bear, Cast, Finger, Front, Hand, Ground, Castle or dare I say Skin..... Just how interesting your life would be.

If we all have Forename as our first name then we definatley MUST be related. Oh god I just can't afford all those birthday and Christmas cards.

Hi. my name is Forename,we must all be cousins.

Is the person with no name the same as the pub with no beer??

If we all had no name or even forename it would make family history researching an absolute breeze. Why are we spending so much time on all these different names. GR has the answer call everybody Forename.
