My (ex) husband insisted on registering our youngest with the middle name ALLAN because that was how his grandfather spelt it. I now have his grandad's Birth Marriage and Death certs and it's consistently spelt ALLEN - sigh! |

Names change depending on what certificate they are registered on too - my Grandmother's birth was registered as Violet MAY Davies, but her death was registered with the middle name spelt MAI....all because during her lifetime that's how she preferred to spell it!! |

Hi. My cousin iscalled Julie. As she was born in July,her dad registered her (while her mum was still in hospital) as Julye. Fortunately her mum was able to get it corrected - must have been a woman registrar. Don't let Dads do the registering alone! Helen |

At the library the other day I looked up on the fiche files the birth of a lad for him and then looked for his brother and sister's births too. He was astounded to find he'd got a middle name and that his sister Marie was registered as Susanna Jane and his brothers name was spelt differently too!!!! And that's the 1970's - |
