(Just wondering about the rules. For our replies, can we use the last letter - "y" in this case - to the start of a surname?)

I don't think so. You can begin with the surname, and then give the first name if necessary, but the connecting letter (or symbol, in some cases we've allowed) must begin the new word.
Eric Thursley => Young Sam

 

[RathDarkblade]

All right. So for Young Sam, I can say "Maccalariat, Iodine" but not "Iodine, Maccalariat"?

What about honorifics? For instance, can I say "Miss Iodine Maccalariat"? Just wondering.

Young Sam => Miss Iodine Maccalariat

(LOL... I just love the character, by the way. There are so many recognisable things about her. I'm sure I've run into a few Miss Maccalariats in the past - they often seem to work in health insurance nowadays!

P. S. Oh, yes ... is it possible that Miss Maccalariat might be related to any of the Vogons?)

 

[=Tamar]

I feel that honorifics should be restricted to those which are significant. For instance, Glenda would not be Miss Glenda because use of the honorific is not a major part of her character. "Miss Maccalariat" would be allowed because it's her professional name (though in her case it doesn't change the letter anyway).
