Custom TMGW Name Styles |
Various users have created custom Name Styles. Where it is known, the name of the user creating it will be noted. In other cases, multiple users have made suggestions on how a Name Style may be used, each of them will also be noted, if known.
Dit Names are mostly used by French-Canadians. Essentially, Dit Names are something like aliases or nicknames. The main difference is that some descendants of a person with a Dit Name may assume the Dit Name as the Surname. Note the example below is somewhat far-fetched, but should give you the idea.
