Problem understanding one player's name on AFL Dream Team

[markinUSA]

Edit: I changed this text after I realized my mistake with the name.

Hi

I was looking through the AFL website - http://afl.virtualsports.com.au/ -
at the Dream Team section. I entered the competition last year, half way through the season, for the first time. I never did well - never - so this year I decided to pay a bit more attention.

So... I was looking through the player list... and I couldn't understand the name of one of the Bulldogs players. It's Brian Harris. I was looking for him as Brian Lake. The Bulldogs site has him as Brian Lake (Harris).

It's my mistake... I wasn't used to people having more than one name. But I thought other people might be confused by the way they went with one name, not another, and didn't clarify it... maybe its been in the press there, but I didn't know it.

Cheers
Mark

He was Brian Harris last year, and changed his name to his (step?) fathers surname when his child was born.

Yeah... I realized something like that must have been the case, after I made my first post. I felt like an idiot, assuming my own experience of one surname would apply to everyone. Of course... my mistake.

I think it was that he adopted his "real" fathers name prior to his own child being born so that the child would be born with his genetic granfathers name.....or along those lines.
