When do the kids have 14 names? I've heard this reasoning mentioned many times, but have never heard of someone in real life with anything even approaching that many names. Please explain. Cites appreciated. Thanks![/quote]

NP here. Don't really get why you're being purposefully obtuse about this. You give your kid both names. How does that kid decide what to name their kid? Pretty reasonable question, and we shouldn't have to look to Wikipedia, you should tell us your answer. Your reticence to do so is a bit curious.[/quote]

My reticence to do what? No one asked me a question. Perhaps if you could manage to read a sentence or two of the Wikipedia link, you'd understand how parents like the Hispanic PP choose names for their children. Since that's apparently too much for you to handle, here you go:

"According to these customs, a person's name consists of a given name (simple or composite) followed by two family names (surnames). The first surname is usually the father's first surname, and the second the mother's first surname....If a man named Eduardo Fernández Garrido marries a woman named María Dolores Martínez Ruiz and they have a child named José, there are several legal options, but their child would most usually be known as José Fernández Martínez."

Since people like the "14 names" poster show up on every thread like this to insist that the future offspring of kids with two last names (or even one last name and two middles, since they're apparently under the assumption that kids take their parents middle names AND surnames?) will end up with some ridiculous amount of names, I think it's fair to ask them to back that up with actual proof. So, feel free to provide that.[/quote]

Thanks for proving the point that in your naming tradition as well, the father's name is the one usually passed on and the mother's fades away. Not seeing how this is some great win for feminism.[/quote]

You are sorely lacking in critical thinking skills. I don't even know where to begin.[/quote]
