Alan Pace ,and his family

[Carwin261]

I’ve seen someone asking them to name as many of the squad as they could in 1/2 a minute ,his kids did really well,but what impressed me was that he called them all by their Christian names,which seem to show a real bond with the chairman,and the players.

[Corky]

"Given name" and "Family name" are the preferred terms. Tradition in some cultures is "family name" first and "given name" last. In other cultures it's the reverse.

It's very formal I've noticed some chairmen actually refer to the players by their nicknames at other clubs for me that demonstrates a real connection, but that shouldn't be a slight on the character of the man or any man if he just conducts himself in a formal businesslike manner & isn't as jovial as others.

[Rowls]

Christian name / first name
Surname / family name

That’s all fine. We all know what these terms mean. No need to tiptoe around them.

My goodness ,I posted this as an appreciation of our chairman,and it’s turned into a ( what you can ,or can’t say ) I’m sure no one took offence .

[RickyBobby]

I always use the word forename for first name, but maybe I am out of touch.
