- zimpenfish 6y agoI suppose, pedantically, if you're talking about Culture ship names, he should be referred to as Iain M. Banks?
- arethuza 6y agoIf we want to be that pedantic then we could always use his own Culture name: "Sun-Earther Iain El-Bonko Banks of North Queensferry" ;-) Edit: Apparently his name really was just "Iain Banks": "Menzies was supposed to be his middle name, but his father got it wrong on the birth certificate." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/iain-banks-i-never-had-any-illusions-about-gordon-790223.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/iain-bank...
