Re: Boy's middle name for a girl---edit
in reply to a message by Caroline
So, would someone with an old name and no money get more respect/admiration than someone who made their own money?

Maybe not respect or admiration, but envy or a little bit of awe. But maybe from those people who respect others based on their class, yes.
This is why if I were ever to make lots of money, I'd never refer to myself above middle class.

I know we've had this discussion before, but that's the opposite of the way things are here. People would be more in awe of a person who came from nothing and worked themselves up to a higher tax bracket than a poor person with a family name. The family name person would be interesting, but it wouldn't be awe inspiring.
