What's the right Neil's second name? Amstrong and Armstrong are both found in the net for -Neil- the first man who stepped on the Moon!

I must tell you how happy your question makes me. I don't feel totally alone in space now that I see someone else does not hear all the letters. Of course I do hear English ones, as you do españoles! I wish we could upload snippets of what we don't hear. - Janice, Sep 21, 2009

This night I just realized I was wrong my whole life about his second name... sorry Neil!

We would say: "..his last name" (rather than his "second" name.) He may or may not also have what we call a "middle" name. - Janice, Sep 21, 2009
ps, one might use the words "second name" with reference to a pen name or stage name...maybe... - Janice, Sep 21, 2009
I wouldn't worry about it very much. I've done this with lots of names and words; I once thought "to hate" was "oidar" instead of "odiar" :o - freeze10108, Sep 21, 2009
Thanks a lot Janice... indeed I doubted about writing "second name"... - AntMexico, Sep 22, 2009

I have seen his first name as both NIEL and NEIL - (Do a google search) I don't know which is correct.
