I don't get how that excerpt shows that his family name is Wensleydale. It just says that he was supposedly named Jeremy but no one uses the name. His parents called him Youngster. His last name or the last name of his parents isn't mentioned.

Yes, this, I had to reread the excerpt to see if I missed it somehow but it's not there?

I mean, I can see where you can read it that way? As in, "he was christened Jeremy, but he was born middle-aged so everyone calls him by his last name like he's a middle-manager from the 50s."

However, that's 1. implied, not stated in the text, and 2. undermined by the fact that Wensleydale's a fucking cheese.

Wow, it's getting late in my timezone and I'm starting to mix up sentences as I read them.
Why would Wensleydale fuck a cheese..?
Oh. Right. Wrong words order.
Time to go to bed, I guess.

YES! I don't think Neil Gaiman's answer was assholish, but I don't see how the excerpt explains that Wensleydale was his last name. Just that no one called him by his first name. When I read the book, I assumed "Wensleydale" was a nickname, especially because at least one other character in the group used a nickname, and because as someone mentioned above, it's a cheese.
