That's why I think hypenated names are presumptuous, self-centered, impractical, unwieldy and not very thoughful.

Presumptuous?
How about making assumptions about a person based on their name?

Like I said before, if having a hyphenated name is the biggest issue for my (hypothetical) children, then I will go to bed each night feeling blessed.

Based on genetics, there is a good chance that they will have heads like prize-winning pumpkins, and won't be able to throw or catch any type of ball. That's what I worry about.

And why is it that actors and actresses all have three names?

And assassins... (John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, etc...)

Hyphenated names are not self-centered, naming your kid after yourself is.

Skip a generation for cryin' out loud. Honor you father or mother by naming your kid after them, not yourself.

I'm so great that there needs to be another me. :rolleyes:

George Foreman has eight (?) sons with the same name. Give me a break.

My $0.02.

Why not settle on a universal hyphenated name? . . .Like: I'm-too-important-to-just-keep-tradition-and-want-my-kids-friend-to-know-mommy-wears-the-pants-daddy-is-a-wuss

Oh, and I tend to agree with Joe. Not because such names make someone gay. I just like offending overly sensitive people.
:D

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.
Holly cow. What a miracle. How'd you have kids without your kahones? :D

Guy I work with took his wifes name, beyond the pile of trouble it took to get it done, I hope it was worth it. We now call him "Mrs. Anderson."

Those are hypothetical kids, so I guess I haven't proven a damn thing yet! :D :D

Sure you have. You've proven it's impossible to have kids when your kahones are in you wife's purse!

I wish I had time to hack out a snappy retort, but I have to get supper ready before she gets home!
