Subject: Names like Martin Luther King
Author: Sally Sue   (guest, 68.95.159.230)

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!
