I suppose there wouldn&#8217;t be that many Milesses, since the name is Betan, yes? But surely there should be dozens of Ivans, Gregors, Piotrs, Pierres, even Arals. By the naming convention, a grandfather would be likely to have at least two children with his first name, and probably more. I would think in such a society, particularly when using somebody&#8217;s last name alone risks social insult, every boy would have a nickname bestowed on him (probably by his same-name cousins) long before taking the Academy exams, and those names would stick. Just a thought.\n<p><I>Tolerabimus quod tolerare debemus<\/I>,<br>-Vardibidian.\n<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, and Your Humble Blogger should have something to say about his third time through Cordelia\u2019s Honor in three years.
