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.
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.
You also have Hamilton Fish. He was Grant’s Secretary of State. His letter of gratitude before retirement is, or at least was, hanging in the Empire State Building.

Morris is defintely a first name in Britain. I went to school with a Morris Morrison.
Hope he named his kid Morris Morrisonson.
One of my friends in middle school had the last name Morris, so I think of it as a last name.
James Taylor
Jason alexander
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.
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
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.
Either Thomas Jefferson had two first names, or Jefferson Davis had two last names.
Abraham Lincoln
Paul Ryan. But yeah probably not as known.
Any ____son is a last name. FYI the etymology is son of Jack, son of ____.
Ghengis Khan, Julius Caesar, etc.
Khan is a first name?
That is not showing correctly for me. You can try this instead:
Does Tom Hanks count? He might beat Jorda ln in fame but Hanks isn’t quite the same as Hank.
