apologies if I have ranted about this before but (and further apologies for thread hijacking - it's only a temporary diversion and you will reach your destination if you comply with our wishes, praise Allah)......

At precisely what point did Menzies Campbell become Ming Campbell (as he is now referred to in many, but not all, media sources)?

Was it the point where it was discovered that most people can't say Menzies properly (mingiss) and rather than be fed up hearing his name mis-pronounced he just decided to shorten it or is there some other explanation?
