In many cultures not just in the UK it is very common for childrens middle names to be that of the mother or grandmother or even a favourite friend. |

Chris..To the best of my knowledge the "middle name" being a "surname" was found in Ireland but mainly in those who where of Scottish Ancestry or English aristocracy... |

I'm in Wales - my paternal grandmother was a Harman prior to marriage - my Dad's forename is Harman, my son's middle name is Harman and other members of our family have included Harman in their name somewhere |
