Perhaps to add to your american misery, I don't think we even know what "forename" means, as a rule. I certainly don't. It suggests the one that comes first (forelegs, foreward, etc.), but I have a suspicion that it's nonsensically the one that comes last.
It is what we used to call "Christian Name" in our less multicultural and more European/ British supremacist days. Ie the Andrew of "Andrew Black".
What do you call it in US?
