McDonald is a well established surname, a town in Ohio, common street name, college (not hamburger university) as well as a fast food joint among many other things.

There is a difference between someone named McDonald McClownburger, McDonald Soulcrusher and just McDonalds.

Common sense applies.


Colgate is an established surname, a town in Wisconsin, a common street name, a college as well as a toothpaste.

Is Colgates last name Pearlywhites or something?
