Troubled by a slight logical inconsistency.

Carrot Ironfoundersson is the adopted son of the "mine supervisor". If the father's name is Ironfoundersson, then by the naming convention of Discworld, shouldn't Carrot be called Ironfounderssonsson?

Is it more likely the subject of this entry is simply "Ironfounder", as Carrot has clearly taken the name "Ironfoundersson" as his own? --AgProv 13:42, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Terry has made jokes like this elsewhere, but no, for the same reason we don't have Johnsonsons here. --Old Dickens 14:06, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
