This is for a school writing assignment, and there are no specific guidelines for which way to do this. I was thinking maybe the gender of the person had something to do with it (it seems more common that first names are used with women and last names with men), but I'm not sure.  What do you think?

The first time you use the person's name in your paper, use their full name (ie. Dr. John Smith or Ms. Sue Smith), then for the rest of the paper, you can use the person's last name. You can use this for every person in your paper. This is the correct way to do it. If you use the person's full name each time it will get redundant. Make sure to change it up by using their last name, along with the appropriate pronouns, but only for the main person in the paper. If you are using someone else's opinion (ie. John Smith thinks highly of Ms. Smith), do not use he/she use the 3rd parties full name, this will alleviate confusion within your paper.\nGood Luck.

Here's the accepted syntax...\n\nMr. William R. Smith, Jr.\nMr. William R. Smith III\n\nSince "Jr." and "III" both modify the name in front of them, I don't know why there is a difference in the acceptable format for using them in written form. I just know this is the way I was taught. A century ago. Back when they used quill pens and ink wells to address letters to Mr. William R. Smith, Jr. \n\nOr Mr. William R. Smith III.

My wife has such a name and a nick name.She will use the nick name If it makes it easier for people to say correctly.I believe it is OK to correct someone once or twice depending on the situation.In a business environment you will have to decide on that as a sales agent it is good to be easy going you want something from them be easy. As a manager speaking to subordinates you will want proper use of your name or nick name, so it depends on the situation

Does it arise from nurture?  Interesting question, but I believe you may have given yourself the answer within your question.  As you state, Cultures utilize the sexual context as a guide to determining gender recognition. Throughout history male and female persons have occasionally had to struggle with gender issues: she's a tomboy, he's a sissy.  Each of these is gender bending by use of cultural dictates.  If a society creates a specific gender list if you will, and one meets the list pre-conditions, then society dictates Masculine and Feminine.  Consider a woman who enjoyed sports in the early 1900's.  Society, having no other way of identifying or explaining this, would have labelled her a tomboy or in some cases worse.  Fast forward to today, where a young woman would no more be called a tomboy or any other gender bending name simply for playing sports.  Gender, I believe, is to a degree, fluid.  The definition is changing as culture changes.  Attitudes towards women and men and their gender specific roles are changing and continue to evolve.  I apologize for the long answer, but simply put, yes, I believe to a degree that gender is subjective.\n\nCheers

I believe names are given by the child's parents or a close family member. U.S culture has sipped throughout the world so it wouldn't surprise me to find some people with more common American names. As for Europeans becoming mainstreams in schools, don't quite see your point. Europeans aren't that fund of Americans trust me I live in Europe.

There are billions of names in the world... so who knows where it came from. Just go with it... and smile... and nobody will notice until you have to have to say it or have them spell it.\nBetter than Miller, Smith Anderson, etc. You won't be lost in the phone book somewhere with a million other names the same. lol

hi,\nThere is nothing much wrong with this write up. you can just spruce it up by changing a few things here and there. \nYou can actually reduce the usage of I. This woman could be changed to she.(it sounds better) \nFrom that day on... could just be written as From that day, I begged my mother to let me play as I was like/the,King kong trapped in a small cage waiting to break free. Finally I was let out. I started to play....\n..and but is .

There last names were given to them by the whites. Most are given ndn names from a elder in the family. Such as named after a family member or some significant thing  that was seen  or done at the time.

By Tradition\nIf this was being made for a ladies  hope chest or Bridal Trousseau then  her Maiden name initials would be used. \nnow that she is married you use her Married initials\n(and her husbands crest if he had one)\nwhich initials to go by are the names she signed the marriage certificate (or how she now signs any legal document like a credit card slip). \n for example if her maiden name was Hephzibah Jane smith and she married Mr doe.\nher monogram would be H.D.J.\nif she had no middle name then you could use her maiden name. and the monogram would be H.D.S.\n\nAnd if she really hates her first name and never uses it then you would use the middle name and the maiden name and the monogram would be J.D.S. \nthe reason given for ignoring the first name in this case is\nthat for all gifts you must always consider the pleasure of the Receiver

I'd think badly of anyone who couldn't come up with a more coherent and descriptive way of expressing their thoughts.  It's one thing to curse when something bad's happened.  I do it all the time when I injure myself.  But if someone has to resort to crudity to express opinion, belief or feeling, then I generally think the person is uncouth, doesn't think before speaking and probably doesn't have a very good vocabulary to draw from.  It's not about gender, it's about how you communicate yourself to other people.

"Guys answer to everything involves something that makes them happy and does nothing to help the problem at hand, WHY are they such idiots???"\n\nSweetheart, that's a fragmented sentence. Unless "Guys" is a proper noun it can't stand alone at the beginning of your sentence without the use of an indefinite article. A better way to write it would be: "A guy's answer to everything........” In this case "A" would be the indefinite article. If you start out the question like this, you'll need to change the pronoun "them" to "him". If you like the pronoun the way it is you could start off your question with, "The male answer to everything.......” In this case, the indefinite article "A" should be changed to the definite article "The".\n\nI'm not making fun of you. I know your intelligence is vastly superior to my own. Your ability to make broad and unfounded generalizations is indicative of a brilliant mind. I just wanted to help out with your crappy grammar :)

Has to do with one's own preference, and what the couple has agreed to. Many will not do a name change due to job, career, and other reasons. Some girls look forward to the name change and just write it over and over.That goes for men as well to change their name instead of the woman.

If the story uses the words "I" or "me" a lot then it is first-person, of the story uses "she" or "he" a lot than it is third person, i am not going to give you a direct answer though. you should figure it out urself

Don't change it, your dad gave it to you for a reason, my husbands dad gave him the name Jamie Lynn, so he's went through 27 yrs of his life with a chicks name but wouldn't ever think of changing it cause his dad gave it to him.
