[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People that consider doing this to their child, do you ever try and play it out in your head? So your child grows off with a hyphenated super long name and then marries someone else with a hyphenated super long name. Are they then going to have two very long hyphenated names as their new married last name? And then comes the next generation… I'm sorry, but this obsession with hyphenated names is absurdly self-centered. [/quote] In theory they pick a name from each side to continue the two-name tradition. In reality they pick just one last name because they have enough combined experience to understand how the little annoyances of double barrelled names add up. Double barrelled last names are not the status symbol they used to be. Just look at all the actual high-status people who stick with one and give their kids only one. [/quote]
