List Of People With Reduplicated Names
This is a list of people with reduplicated names.
Reduplication, in linguistics, is a process by which the root or stem of a word, or part of it, is repeated. Alternative terms include cloning, doubling, duplication, and repetition. Reduplication has a grammatical function in some languages, such as plurality or intensification. It is also used to derive new words. The process of anthroponymy, or naming people, is frequently creative, and provides examples of this.
Reduplication in human names is sometimes used with hypocorisms, i.e., informal short versions of names. It is commonly used this way in French, e.g., the French name Louise becomes Loulou as a diminutive. The nicknames and fictional characters below include other examples.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, people and/or names:
“My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.”

“All is possible,
Who so list believe;
Trust therefore first, and after preve,
As men wed ladies by license and leave,
All is possible.”
—Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)
“The East is the hearthside of America. Like any home, therefore, it has the defects of its virtues. Because it is a long-lived-in house, it bursts its seams, is inconvenient, needs constant refurbishing. And some of the family resources have been spent. To attain the privacy that grown-up people find so desirable, Easterners live a harder life than people elsewhere. Today it is we and not the frontiersman who must be rugged to survive.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
“Tonight there are only the winter stars.
The sky is no longer a junk-shop,
Full of javelins and old fire-balls,
Triangles and the names of girls.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
