[edit] Last Name
As with Andrew Lloyd Webber, Julians last name is Webber, not Lloyd Webber. As he himself states in an interview [1], "Lloyd" is the middle name. --FordPrefect42 20:47, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Is your last name "Lloyd Webber," or is there a tradition in your family of using the same middle and last names? Your brother, Andrew, also shares this. My father's middle name was Lloyd. He adopted it professionally to avoid confusion with another organist, William Webber. I guess the name has stuck!
Lloyd was originally his father's middle name. By "I guess the name has stuck!", does he mean it's now their last name professionally? --Usgnus
- The way I understand this, it is a familiy tradition now to have the middle name shared by all male members. But I may be wrong after all, it is the best source to be found, concerning the Webber's last name. --FordPrefect42 21:08, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
BTW, I reverted a minute before you posted this talk page. I would not have done so if I had seen this. --Usgnus 20:55, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Feel free to re-revert ;-) --FordPrefect42 21:08, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

- Likewise. --Usgnus 21:10, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Use of first name vs last name in article
I think it would be preferable that the article refer to him as "Webber" rather than as "Julian" - which is too familiar and seems more like a fanzine or fan club biography than a serious biographical article. Davidpatrick 09:13, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
