I legally changed my name to "David Tilley" in honor of the worlds greatest hero "David Tilley." Who oddly enough is me...I think I misspent my $50.

A friend of mine (brits might have seen him in The Sun at the end of '05) had his name changed to Jellyfish McSavaloy after a dare.

A lot of last names were adopted from professions and cultural standings. Like a carpenter would have the last name of 'Carpenter' or if a guy named Jacob had a son the son's last name might evolve into Jacobson. But if this is the case I feel sorry for John Hancock. Really.

Scottish: regional name from Galloway in southwestern Scotland, named as ‘place of the foreign Gaels’, from Gaelic gall ‘foreigner’ + Gaidheal ‘Gael’. From the 8th century or before it was a province of Anglian Northumbria. In the 9th century it was settled by mixed Gaelic-Norse inhabitants from the Hebrides and Isle of Man.

Looks like mine means foreigner.
