Double Names: Are They Southern?
You may or may not have heard of “double names”. The tradition of double names actually started in England hundreds of years ago when the rich began giving their kids long names in order to prove their upper class status.
Since then, Southerners have carried on the tradition by giving two names such as Ella Mae, Mary Jane, Harper Lee, Anna Belle, etc. Typically when you hear a double name, you immediately think of cute Southern accents and sweet tea!
