This this is a relatively new phenomenon started during this generation, I do wonder what's going to happen when they start getting married?
Lisa Smith-Jones marries John Heywood-Jablowmee, have a kid. What's the kid's name going to be, Jerry Smith-Jones-Heywood-Jablowmee? Some might find that a bit unwieldy. But it's either that, or something's gotta give, and someone's precious last name has to hit the dumper. |

Hilarious!
And then there's the news story that was just on that 20% of engaged men are considering taking their wives' last names. Joe? What was that pithy reply again?

STFU...My hyphenated last name was created three generations ago and was created by my relatives to ensure some heritage was not lost between two families.
It's got nothing to do with ******s...well except for the people who make stupid uneducated comments without knowing the history.

Perhaps we could exclude other cultures where naming traditions may differ.
But for US natives we'll stick with the derogatory generalizations in regards to guys that do it. And we can use the 'snotty beyatch' generalization in regards to women who somehow feel we all need to know her parents name so that we might attribute their qualities to her.

Sorry if you feel offended, expat. But here in America (notwithstanding non-American cultural traditions), it just sounds ridiculous. Too "look at me!"

Funny thread, you guys are a hoot. My wife didn't take my name, and the deal was if she went hyphenated I had to as well. I said, "I'm not changing my name after 30 years, that's crazy!" She said "I agree!" But our kids will have hyphenated names. Doesn't bother me one bit. A name is just a name. I'll be a lot more concerned with my kids' upbringing and moral character than their names. FWIW, a guy I know took his wife's name, not even hyphenated. Whatever, he's happy and so is she.

My dad's middle name is his mother's maiden name. That's a better alternative to the ridiculous hyphen crap, IMHO.

It does create a lot of confusion with people/entities that do not understand this. I guess its as ridiculous as using Jr., Sr. III, ...... I'm proud to use both Dad's and Mom's last names but, opinions are like belly buttons....

I think the middle name/last name is a traditional irish or italian thing I can't remember which. I have my mothers maiden name in my full name. Stupid? I don't think so, it's just tradition, same as naming your first born son after your father.

The hypenated thing is popular with the English. Maybe if Mummy is an upper-crusty, you want to get your due..

The hyphenated last name was pretty common among my peers growing up (I was born in 1980). Virtually without exception my friends with a hyphenated last name transitioned into a single last name around high school; Foreman-Rios became Rios, Upton-Sardina became Sardina, etc.
