The following quote is from Voyager by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 52, “A Wedding Takes Place.” Copyright 1994 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘You have a name, too? And a cock?’
‘Yes,’ said Fergus, wisely choosing not to be more specific. ‘Fergus.’
The priest frowned slightly at this. ‘Fergus?’he said. ‘Fergus. Fergus. Yes, Fergus, got that. That’s all? No more name? Need more names, surely.’
‘Fergus,’ Fergus repeated, with a note of strain in his voice. Fergus was the only name he had ever had—bar his original French name of Claudel. Jamie had given him the name Fergus in Paris, when they had met, twenty years before. But naturally a brothel-born bastard would have no last name to give a wife. ‘Fraser,’ said a deep, sure voice beside me. Fergus and Marsali both glanced back in surprise, and Jamie nodded. His eyes met Fergus’s, and he smiled faintly.
‘Fergus Claudel Fraser,’ he said, slowly and clearly. One eyebrow lifted as he looked at Fergus.
Fergus himself looked transfixed. His mouth hung open, eyes wide black pools in the dim light. Then he nodded slightly, and a glow rose in his face, as though he contained a candle that had just been lit.
‘Fraser,’ he said to the priest. His voice was husky, and he cleared his throat. ‘Fergus Claudel Fraser.’”

[> Fergus was so loyal to Jamie through everything. It made me so happy but I wish he had been given that sense of being actual family long ago. -- kgp, Fri, February 17 2023, 10:17:29
