Might as well answer my own question. My full name is Daniel-Bernard Jones.
I'm named after both my grandfathers- Daniel-Jaquez on my father's side and
Bernard from my mother's. "Double names" have been a tradition in my
father's family for generations, but only in the male line. My father is
Jean-Michel (named after his paternal grandfather) and my elder brother is
"officially" Yann-Vikael, which is the Breton form of Jean-Michel, although
we tend to call him Yann-bihan, or Miko. Personally I call him Yanno and he
calls me Danno.

Dan Jones, né Daniel-Bernard Feûchard. My parents never noticed that my
first name rhymes with my surname. Bastards.
