Names like Martin Luther King
Is there a term for a name that consists of someone else's first and last names, followed by the individual's own last name? (e.g. George Washington Carver, William Shakespeare Hays)
I was just thinking about these names and wondering if there is a word for it.
Thanks!

I don't know, but it seems as though there ought to be. Let me know when you find out! :)
