[quote=Anonymous]I have a doubles- barreled last name. I love it, and that I have the names of both of my parents.

I didn’t change my name when I got married, so DH and I have different last names, and our kids have a double-barreled last name (combining DH’s and one of mine). I’m happy to see that my kids’ last name reflects both of their parents.

It is not a hassle to have a longer last name except in a handful of life events where you have to write your name and sign over and over - I think buying a house, at closing I had to write my name and initials over and over. Otherwise you are typing stuff and auto fill helps. Things have changed from when I was a kid and my last name didn’t fit well on forms - this isn’t really a thing anymore.

I do think that people are weird in general about “different” last names - no one thinks it’s a curse to give their child a common last name like “Richardson” which is 11 letters long, but god forbid you name them “Jones-Day” (yes I know that’s a law firm). [/quote]
