Why are the Masoods called Masood when the father's name is actually Masood Ahmed :unsure:

This quote is taken from the bbc website, "The Alpha 'mail' of the Masood family, good-natured postman Masood spends much of his time smoothing over the problems caused by his wife, the formidable Zainab.

As well as his postal duties, Masood also co-runs Masala Masood, and was coaxed into buying the Argee Bhajee, which he promptly handed over to Tamwar. The Ahmed family always seem to be in debt. And even though his intentions are usually good, Masood often seems to make financial matters worse"

Cultaral thing? Most lads I know from Pakistan through cricket are actually called Mohammed but they will use another name informally.

It's a Muslim thing, Dot was confused about it ages back and he explained it but I can't remember precisely. Something like the rest of the family's surname is that of the father's first name.

Edit: Andrew's just a Collumbine waiting to happen isn't he?
