If he spends the rest of the night in a hotel what would he sign on the register and do you think he may have a credit card? I am deadly serious on this question.

Rachelle comes close, but as per my studies there has been no mention of a surname. His full title was Saint Nicholas of Patara, the Bishop of Myra. He was born in 270 AD and was canonized because of his anonymous gifts to the poor. Did you know he is also the patron saint of pawnbrokers?

He was known as Saint Nicholas of Myra. He was a 4th century Christian bishop of Myra in Lycia, a province of the Byzantine Anatolia, now in Turkey. Nicholas was famous for his generous gifts to the poor, in particular presenting the three impoverished daughters of a pious Christian with dowries so that they would not have to become prostitutes. He was very religious from an early age and devoted his life entirely to Christianity.

Surnames weren't a standard thing then, and still aren't in other cultures. People were called 'son of' (eg: Jackson) or their work as a title (eg: Cooper - someone who made barrels). He would be Nicholas of Bari, Bishop of Myra. He didn't get the 'saint' apellation until much later.

I do not believe there were surnames in his time, they were referred to as eg; Joseph of Plymouth, compulsory registration was not until the 1800s for boys only, girls were optional at the time. there are no surnames in the Bible.
