“Signature, in this title, means the name⟳ of the party, written by himself; as evidence of his assent to an instrument as a party, or to attest it as a witness: the family name⟳ must be written at length—the baptismal or prenominal name⟳ may be abbreviated, or indicated only by the initial letter, or altogether omitted, if such has been the usual mode in which the signer has subscribed his name⟳.”

“The personal name⟳, on the other hand, is for the most part of parental choice; and as parents usually take⟳ an indulgent view⟳ of the defects and weaknesses of their offspring, we should not expect⟳ to find⟳ among our prenomens many of uncomplimentary character. Some such, however, there undoubtedly are; for instance, Giddy, Dirty, Faint, Fearful, Musty, Shady, Singular, Stubborn, Tempestuous, and Troublesome are all recorded names. It will be conjectured that the infants thus styled must have⟳ fallen into hands other than those of their natural guardians. One name⟳ on the list is capable of the same interpretation as many other prenominal absurdities.”

“In this instance, however, the prenominal abbreviation as well as the gentilician name⟳ is given; the House of the Treasure is also the House of Quintus Fulvius.”
