My primary school was small enough for only one name, Hearst -- named not after William Randolph but his mother, Phoebe, who had some sort of hand in its founding in addition to all her other philanthropic works.
In the 70s, we spent a lot of time explaining that, no, it's not Patty Hearst, but her great-grandmother.
