  <title>Surnames</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Random thought, presumably people first started giving themselves surnames according to their trade; for example, modern day Smiths actually used to be smiths; like blacksmiths and goldsmiths. Bakers were bakers and the first Mr Butler was a butler. So what about people with the surname King? No need to call youself Henry King VIII is there!? If you're a Henry and a king then you're just Henry the whatever. I think the first Kings had their names changed by deed poll from Princes who had large egos. Nobody's called John Prince are they? (Except of course "<a href="http://www.anagramgenius.com/archive/thear.html">The Artist Formerly Known As Prince</a>", now just "The Artist" - sorry your majesty...). Self proclaiming yourself King is fair enough though. Think about it, there have been some great Kings - Martin Luther King, Billie Jean King, B. B. King (B. B. stands for "Blues Boy." How cool is that!)... Tyrannosaurus Rex...<br /><br />Tags: <a href="http://www.nimisis.com/tags/surname" rel="tag">surname</a>]]></description>
