HelpRe: Enoch
in reply to a message by Anneza, nsi
I daresay most Americans have never heard of whatever British politician it was who went by his middle name Enoch. I never have. We Americans have had our politicians also who chose to go by their middle names rather than their overused first names: Stephen Grover Cleveland, Thomas Woodrow Wilson, John Calvin Coolidge.

Anyone who's never heard of him (Enoch Powell, btw)or, worse, heard him is fortunate. But Enoch has a vintage feel which rather matched his outlook on life!
Another Brit politico, left-wing this time, was James Harold Wilson. James comes across as rather upper-class, or did in his day, though Jim is very populist; he was always known as Harold, which has a working-class vibe that he played for all it was worth, public pipe-smoking etc. Doesn't seem to happen in South Africa, or not yet anyway.
