[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't think anything, but I know forms are a challenge for some kids. Sometimes the name doesn' fit in space provided (like SAT, with not enough boxes for each letter). And I guess admitting to laughing about the idea of Joe Jones-Smith getting marryied to Lisa Taylor-Johnson and having kids Larlo and Larla Taylor-Johnson-Jones-Smith![/quote] Except that they mostly don't. I mean, Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries have dealt with the "four last names" issue forever, and it's not actually a problem. You pick one last name from each person and voila, a new last name. Ditto for the Brits, where double-barreled (or even triple-barreled) last names have a long history. And the computerized form problem is vastly overblown. This is not a reason not to hyphenate a last name. [/quote]
