An Inconclusive History of Multiuse Names

A multiuse name is an uniform umbrella name for each collaborator in an organization.

Ned Ludd appears to be the first use of a multiuse name. This is unrecognized at present since Luddite now is simply an eponymous way of saying opposed to technology (or in this pervasive technological age a late adapter). During Ned Ludd's lifetime and shortly thereafter the proletariat that emulated his example by smashing the frames of knitting machines referred to themselves as Luddites and their founder or leader as King Ludd or Captain Ludd. It is uncertain if Ludd smashed his first weaving frame in 1779 or when the Luddites actually formed in the 1810s. When knitting machines were found smashed it was said that Ned Ludd did it.
