"My dad doesn't like it!" - Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on his double-barrelled surname

[@Michael-fi7vu]

'Where does the Ox come from if your dad's name is Chamberlain?' Hmmm... I wonder where it comes from.

[@tomwinter91]

I know. Proper head scratcher that one hahaha. Numpties.

[@adz123888]

Haha I thought the same

[@getmetothegeek4066]

I was about to write the same thing. On the other hand, it was the lovely Chris Kamara who asked the question so I couldn't stay angry for long!

[@havinortac6397]

Shortened version of oxlade which is his mums surname

[@MyName_Jeff]

It came from the name of his first dog

[@chalkfarmcarsquadso1664]

Well done massive credit to your mum 👏👏👏👏👏

[@leehambleton9919]

Mark was a fine player himself

Lovely banter between father & son

[@hartzldn]

Had so much potential

[@callumnineninenine6886]

He used to just go by Chamberlain back when he was at Southampton

[@lukedaley17]

It’s understandable why Alex’s mother kept her maiden name.

[@ZACKARDO]

So he isn't maidenless

[@o.binwheelie9733]

yes, very charitable of her 👏 dipping in to three of his off shore bank accounts as we speak!

Yeah. The reason is valid

[@billyhoyle2780]

Alex “Jack Wilshire” Oxlade Chamberlain has a nice ring to it

[@daniaa1602]

i thought it was common sense that ppl with hyphenated names got it from their mother and father...

[@mozzimozzi10]

Well not really. Ox’s kids will have the ‘oxlade chamberlain’ surname. They didn’t get it from their mother…

Most footballers these days just do it to jump on a trend but that's a nice story behind his name.

[@snuffmeister6720]

you think people are keeping their surnames based off a trend? where r u getting this from?

He had it from birth, don’t think he was born a pro footballer or wanting to stick to a trend mate 😂

[@neilburns8869]

I can understand his Dad not liking the double barrelled surname because I don't either. Listening to the Ox's story I can understand his reasoning but I still feel that it sounds pretentious and fake and trying to make yourself out to be something that you are not. I generally loathe things that are fake. Just the type of person I am, a purist.

[@Lb3003.]

Yeah whatever you didn’t give birth to the child. There’s nothing wrong the mothers name being there. It has more right to anyways.
