Or maybe just a way to keep his name remembered?
I'm listening to a podcast right now by CBC in Canada. It's called Somebody Knows Something by David Ridgen. (his voice is just so soothing) It's an investigative type podcast - the host goes into great detail and research, knocking on doors, interviewing old contacts, to see if new light can be shed on stories. His first season dealt with the death of the 3 civil rights workers in the 60s in Mississippi. During that season, there was audio of a newscast as they pulled bodies from a river, that ended up being "the wrong bodies" - they did end up finding out who they were.
That stuck with him, and this current season he is going back to see if justice can finally be served. He's speaking to the brother of the one murdered boy, and I found it interesting that every time he speaks of him, the brother says his full name "Charles Eddie Moore" instead of just "Charles".
I wondered if this was a southern thing, or maybe something else?
Either way - I'll be listening to the entire season. I do hope they rattle some cages and get some justice for these two poor boys.

Maybe it's the brother's way of keeping his brother's name in people's minds/memories?

I agree with melanell. A southern thing might be to call him Charles Eddie, but not Charles Eddie Moore when you're his brother. Or first mention might be "My brother, Charles Eddie Moore blah blah blah blah. Now, Charles Eddie was a fine man, blah blah blah..." The brother is trying to keep the name out there.

Not a southern thing. Must be a way to remember him.

In the south we are big on double names; Jim Bob, Elizabeth Anne, Carlie Sue. But as stated, not saying the last name. The only time a last name is mentioned is if we are asking someone what their name is. My name is Jenny Doe. Oh is your family the Does that live over on Yonder Street? Or the Does from Bizzybody parrish? We only use the last name to pinpoint the family connection.
I agree it's to keep the name alive.

I've sometimes seen the "double name" used when differentiating family members with the same first name. For example - if dad's full name is John Edward Smith and son's full name is John Francis Smith, dad is "John" and son is "John Francis"

I am in a county state. Just above the parrish state. Born and raised. However, all of the other stands true here is deep south "the family matters" land!
