Hell it should be W. Larson for Will Larson LOL.

Michelle called me from a company selling vitamin C, but she was Sandy. In whispers "This is Michelle". In that type of venue very few people use their real names. A bit tertiary but somwhat the same - I am a TV technician. If anyone EVER gives my phone number to a customer I will blow their head off.

It is my considered opinion that S. Larson does not exist. What's more I find it a bit off that they would pick a name like Larson, if they know the definition of the word.

Status: offline 		In scandinavia, which has or had a couple things going on, the father as absolute head of household, ( but divorce was quite easy for a woman to obtain from even aincient times) would name his children quite often after himself and they didnt have familial names so it would be lars larson or thora larsdatter (in the case of a girl)  (which brings up a question or two in that there are 'datter' family names today)   immaculate conceptions thru the ages?

In any case my name would have been at some point Knut(e) Knutson (Kenneth Kennethson, perhaps) Newt is english (as in Newton)  the K is never silent in Knute it aint Nute Rockne.  

There have been Knut(e) Knutsons back in my family history as long as I can trace back, until my generation.

Anyway---  like Thor was a popular name as was Knute and Lars and Swen and Ole or Ola and so on.......so you got Thorson Knutson Larson Swenson Olson, usually Olasson remains intact, no contration and so on........nevertheless we come from a small township near Melby(e) Norway  means mill town  .....so with the plethora of common names across scandinavia they went to Knute Knutson av (of) or fra (from) Melby to make it a little easier to distinguish Knute Knutsons...............

At embarkation to the US, Knute Knutson fra Melby (my great grandfather) became Knute Melby.  The rest, including that; is history.

Status: offline 		my grandfathers name, and Kenneth Melby the name of his firstborn son.  My fathers name was Carl Morris Melby, and changed it to Morris Carl Melby to avoid confusion with his uncle Carl Magnus Melby  both using C.M. Melby and dad went to M.C. Melby........

I am a twin and so he didn't follow firstborn tradition, as it is bad form with twins, and our names were something else  entirely.

Status: offline 		Sorry, I can't believe that I fucked up this bad. Not realizing it I picked up on the homonym. Larson and larcen.

However that doesn't mean some others will not as well. I am just surprised that I did it.

But if you get a letter from a bank signed by Will Larcen, do post about it.
