[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep in mind that when you get a hyphenated last name, you also get an entire phrase (for the rest of your life) as in “my name is Jane Smith-Jones that’s a hyphenated last name” Forever and ever and ever and ever .... [/quote] Yep, or if you're in the south, depending on what the names are, they'll think your first name is a double name. Example, Sarah Burke Smith's first name is Sarah Burke and her last name is Smith, which southern people will understand, but Sarah Burke-Smith will be called Sarah Burke since they'll assume that's her first name since hyphenated last names aren't as common as double first names. [/quote] Anyone who has a hard time with something like hyphenated names is going to have a hard time with ethnic names and foreign names. They’re going to have a REALLY hard time dealing with the next generation of workers who aren’t all going to be named John Smith and Jane Jones. [/quote]
