A surname or family name is a name added to a given name. In many cases, a surname is a family name and many dictionaries define "surname" as a synonym of "family name". In the western hemisphere, it is commonly synonymous with last name because it is usually placed at the end of a person's given name.
In most Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking countries, two or more last names (or surnames) may be used. In China, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Madagascar, Taiwan, Vietnam, and parts of India, the family name is placed before a person's given name.
The style of having both a family name (surname) and a given name (forename) is far from universal. In many countries, it is common for ordinary people to have only one name or mononym.
The concept of a "surname" is a relatively recent historical development, evolving from a medieval naming practice called a "byname". Based on an individual's occupation or area of residence, a byname would be used in situations where more than one person had the same name.
I've got your calling card and it says don't call at
all.
All in all I've got no one and nobody gots me.
And due to excessive shoe loss,
yeah, they're falling off, they're falling off.
Without further adieu, I'm-a stop it all with signs and
everything and all.
If you didn't want to be here you shouldn't have come
at all.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE A BALL.
And if you don't come it's your loss.
Shake it from side to side.
This is Mexico and from here on out it's a no holds
barred.
See he's already in.
I've lost all momentum to attempt to have half of a
conversation with you.
But this is nothing new.
But this is nothing.
You're the worst thing that's happened to me and if I
was lying maybe we could agree to disagree.
"We're not working out"...
"I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I
know..."
Abrupt pause. "I know." ,
"I'll walk you out"... I'm on my way right now. We've
got to find that horse.
Well, let's go, where's your seatbelt? Let's grow, mi
dos.
Grow up? I've neglected to mention there's a hole in my
boat, we're not going anywhere.
You're still on mute, I'm a mime.
They call me Luke, It's short for Leukemia.
You keep getting louder.
I'm not accusing you, I'm just saying It's all your
fault.
You put the 'cool' in alcohol, and I've lost all
momentum to try to speak to you.
Alas, my fingers hurt from snapping, so, you better
stay on beat.
I'm lost and you know exactly where to find me, on and
on ...so wrong.
Silly girl, tricks are for kids, where's your tricks
now?
