    Yes it was quite normal.It was also possible that some children were registered as just male plus surname or female plus surname and then given names at baptism

      Thank you for your response Jac...I have found every census for this person but the only reference to a second name was in the baptism, I thought it kind of strange.

        I've got folks who switch their first and second names, who are baptised with names they never use, or adopt extra names later on in life. Who is to say what is normal or usual?!
