When I see stuff like that, I always think of Thorin Oakenshield, son of Thráin, son of Thrór, from The Hobbit.

Yes, JRR knew well his Norse mythology.

Not in the past for all languages. Most European languages are (more or less) quickly heading for "thou", though, leaving the polite form behind. Has happened here over the last half century or so, but is still ongoing in e.g. German and Portuguese.

Uncle Bob checking in to let you all know I haven't checked out just yet.
Love you guys, even though you're all a little weird.

I’m afraid so.

The implication is that we will need to be very good with a charcoal grill.

Good morning. I must say it is quite nice not needing 3 hours to catch up on this thread.

And no more carping.

Exactly! But, say, Lars has a son, called Eric. He's then called Eric Larsson. If he has a son, called, say - Lars, then that son is Lars Ericson. That's where it gets interesting!

And confusing.
