C# Generics Find Method

Question

Like many people, I have been having some trouble with the new Find method for the C# 2.0 generic classes.  My problem is perhaps best explained with an example.
Say you have a class Person, and a person has a Name.
If you had a List and you wanted to find users with short names, you could do something like this:
private void PrintShortNames
{
List personList = new List ();
personList.add(new Person("David"));
personList.add(new Person("Bob"));
personList.add(new Person("Sue"));
personList.add(new Person("Samantha"));
List shortNames = personList.FindAll(new Predicate (IsShortName));
foreach (Person p in shortNames)
{
Console.WriteLine(p.Name + " has a short name.");
}
}
private bool IsShortName(Person p)
{
if (p.Name.Length Okay.  That works fine.
But what if you wanted to search for a specific Person in the example above.  How would you go about doing that?  Since you have to use a delgate function to do the Find, and you can't pass a parameter to the function, how do you tell it what Person you are searching for?  Must you create a boolean function with the name you are searching for hard coded in it?  That does not seem practical.
Any help with this would be most apprecatied.

The Delegate Equation
List listObj = new List ();
someObj y1 = listObj.Filter(delegate (someObj x) { return x.someProperty == searchValue  || x.someotherproperty == 1234; })
someObj y2 = listObj.Find(delegate (someObj x) { return x.someProperty == searchValue; })
someObj y3 = listObj.FindLast(delegate (someObj x) { return x.someProperty == searchValue; })
List y4 = listObj.FindAll(delegate (someObj x) { return x.someProperty == searchValue; })
bool bResult = listObj.RemoveAll(delegate (someObj x) { return x.someProperty == searchValue; })
Example...
public class MyName {
public MyName( string fName, string lName) { FirstName = fName; LastName = lName; }
public string FirstName = "" ;
public string LastName = "" ;
}
//  In some window form button
private void button1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// This will find the MyName obj that firstname = "Sean"
List MyName > lstNames = new List MyName >();
lstNames.Add( new MyName ( "Sean" , "Lanoue" ));
lstNames.Add( new MyName ( "Jack" , "Lovejoy" ));
MyName xx = lstNames.Find( delegate ( MyName x)
{ return x.FirstName == "Sean" ; });
MessageBox .Show(xx.LastName);
}
This also works for Filter, FindAll, Remove
