British guy who was James Bond for the last 5 movies, but probably was best as Joe Bang in Logan Lucky

Hamilton is a last name. I won't doubt that there are some people who have it first (not checking), but they probably have two last names.

Savage.
The only one that comes to mind is Hamilton Morris. I don't know if Morris is a first name, but I really like the dude. He did a bunch of documentaries about drugs for VICE. Big tangent incoming.
Those documentaries are really good. He did one about Project Coast, an awful program started by the apartheid government in South Africa (before Mandela became president). It's the reason why the country still has such a high usage of methaqualone (AKA qualuudes, called Mandrax or "Buttons" colloquially) compared to the rest of the world.
Project Coast did so many much fucking lingering damage. Poisoned baby milk, nerve agents, you name it.
It was engineered by this piece of shit who earned the nickname "Dr. Death", Wouter Basson. Cunt got away with it. He's somehow still a practicing cardiologist in Cape Town. Infuriating.
Main point: those documentaries are worth a watch. Not an ad. Pirate it if you want.
Also, if anyone happens to be near Dr Death's practice, just fucking exorcise that demon.
James Taylor
Former President James Taylor!
Reminds me of that Simon & Garfunkel lyric, along the lines of
...he's so unhip
when you say Dylan
he thinks you're talking about Dylan Thomas!
Whoever he was.
Keith David
I can think of a few others - George Lucas, Wallace Shaen, Jerry Lewis, Steve Martin
How about a threefer with
Jerry
Lee
Lewis!James
Tiberius
Kirk
Jamie
Lee
Curtis
James
Earl
Ray
Either Thomas Jefferson had two first names, or Jefferson Davis had two last names.
Yeah but they’re shitty old American politicians. They’re not really that well known outside of America.
As a non American, Thomas Jefferson is pretty famous as historical figures go.
Is Jackson a "first" name? Sure, I understand that some people use it as a first name, but I would say someone named Jackson Smith has two last names.
Michael Jordan though, that's legit.
Jackson is a patronymic last name: Jack's son.
Smith is an aptronymic last name: a smith.
So yeah, bang on.
There are a bunch of aptronymic last names, especially in English culture. The Baker family, the Tanner family, the Shoemaker family etc.
Don't ask about the Dickinsons.
What about Elton John, huh? He's not famous enough for you, eh? Well what about Michael Jack(son)?? No? How about Betty Boop??
Boop? 😂 Is your first name Boop?
It's short for "Boopifer"
Abraham Lincoln
Wait what’s his last name then..
Paul Ryan. But yeah probably not as known.
Any ____son is a last name. FYI the etymology is son of Jack, son of ____.
Any ____son is a last name. FYI the etymology is son of Jack, son of ____.
There's something similar in Slavic languages with suffixes like -ovic, -ic, -icz, -ich, etc. So "Djokovic" means "little son of Djoko."
Does Tom Hanks count? He might beat Jorda ln in fame but Hanks isn't quite the same as Hank.
