What’s in a Name?

Simon Lancaster

Chapter Chapter 9 in Winning Minds, 2015, pp 115-118 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The other night, Lucy and I were in a restaurant. When the waitress came over to tell us our table was ready, a couple nearby heard our name was Lancaster and instantly came over to strike up conversation. They were also Lancasters — a couple of generations older — and we then chatted throughout the evening, swapping notes on the Lancasters of the north of England, the Lancasters in Wales, the Lancasters in London and beyond. The oxytocin was flowing… There was no blood tie between us but we bonded through little more than our names.
