Surnames (General)

I've noticed with quite a lot of the Baptisms that the child has his/her mothers maiden name as their middle name. I know that some of the children are born 'out of wedlock' so it is natural for them to have the two names, but I wondered with the children born in wedlock whether this was something peculiar to the Forest?

As an example Sarah Ann Vaughan married John Graham Gagg, one of their children was William Vaughan Gagg.
