[quote]Any Germanic first or last name.

Ja, ja, ich bin sehr WASP!

Nearly every US president.

Old school WASP names tend to be either gender bending/neutral or surnames as first names eg. names like Paxton, Braxton, Asher, Russell, Rolland, Logan, Spencer, Jaime, Blake, Drew, Avery, Taylor, Darcy, Darby.

Stupidity indeed,

Teutonic, though white, and possibly protestant, is NOT Anglo Saxon

How were this WASP last names created? I've always found these names fascinating.

Someone explain this to me.

There were NO Protestants ( the "P" in WASP) before 1517.

Think about it, r12.

An ANGLO-SAXON "Person of Color"??

BTW, the acronym "WASP" is both common and historical. Some herein might be too young to know this.

Debbie White

Douglas and Kate Lawrence

Frasier Crane

Mary Richards

Charles Philip Arthur George Mountbatten-Windsor

If you want to get pedantic--and what DLer does not want to get pedantic--should only English surnames count as "WASP" as they are Anglo-Saxon? The Scots and Welsh are Celts and their naming nomenclature is very different. (McDonald vs Donaldson)

Trickier still is how to address the sizable number of Norman French surnames in England (Beauchamp, Montfort) which are decidedly not Anglo-Saxon.

“And what’s wrong with Muriel Puce?”

Diane Chambers

Yeah, I really don't see surnames like Beauchamp, Montfort, Mountbatten as WASPy - they're associated more with the aristocracy and they're a different breed with a lot of non-English and even Catholic influence.

Actual WASPy names - just go through the most common UK surnames and there are a ton there.

Robert Redford

Bethany Covington...my sock at the Landover Baptist site...I thought it was the perfect WASP name

C.K. Dexter Haven

May I remind you "Mountbatten" is a made up name.

And not to be petty, but they only chose "Mountbatten" after seriously considering the surname "Oldenburg"

Allison Woodward. Meredith Hale. Theodore Hepburn. Kathryn Barr. Cornelius Miller. Winthrop Creighton. Hayley Grunwald. Lenore Zimmer. Edmund Jacoby.

When my great grandparents emigrated from England, at Ellis Island the Immigration Clerk suggested their hyphenated last name could be united without the hyphen. Absolutely not they insisted, telling the clerk that hyphen crossed the ocean with us. Hence I have a fancy last name which has been merged by various clerks until I also insist there is a hyphen and that stare they give me is priceless.
