OK So now I am seeing a trend where newlywed couples are taking each other's names. One of my client's I met before I called her by her maiden name lets say it was Jennifer Jackson... It is now Jennifer Jackson-Madison. She then tells me her husband is ALSO taking the name Jackson-Madison. So he is now Jeffrey Jackson-Madison. Hmmm OK. She saw I was a little confused about it and she says "We are not living in the 50's anymore. Women dont have to take their husband's name. Our children will also have the 'Jackson-Madison' name" Personally, I really dont give a crap, but here is where I have a question...
Jeffrey and Jennifer's kids grow up... lets say his name is Johnny Jackson-Madison and he meets Sally Smith-Jones and they get married. Are their names going to be Johnny Jackson-Madison-Smith-Jones and Sally Jackson-Madison-Smith-Jones? Family trees are going to be really confusing. Or was this not really thought out? |

They want to follow the Hispanic way but don't understand how it actually goes.
|
|
I think it just may be that people want to sound important through a name or series of names or something like that.

I work in education and see many different combinations of parents' and kids' names. It can be mind boggling. To kinda answer your question, I recently came across a parent who had a hyphenated last name, divorced, and then got remarried to someone with one of the same last names. So now she is a "Jackson-Jackson." The stepdad is adopting the kid so I'm curious if they're going to change the kid's name to some weird Jackson-Jackson-Jackson.

Hispanics seem to have figured out compound family names. Hopefully your friend and her offspring can come up with something that works for them.

View Quote You answered your own question. Like most progressive things, everyone is focused on how it makes people feel vs the harsh reality of unintended consequences. Stay tuned for Sally Smith-Jones-Anderson-Murphy-Jackson-Wang. |

Quoted: Or was this not really thought out? View Quote Exactly. Cousin-in-law took husband’s hyphenated last name and hilarity ensued as everyone thinks her maiden name is one of the two. They both agree in hindsight they should have picked one of his hyphenated parts and BOTH adopted that. |

When she divorces him, he’s going to have go through another name change.
|

Not a new trend. I started seeing a lot of hyphenated names after marriage maybe twenty years ago.

View Quote yeah could be various reasons my sister has a PhD and had a fair amount of work published before she got married so she hyphenated her name to maintain 'recognition'. so she went from Jill Smith to Jill Smith-Jones (not her real name but you get the point) i don't know all the other reasons / insights behind other schools of thought |
|
Fuck all that noise. Nobody needs filenames longer than 16 characters, nobody needs a name that long.
|
|
Red flags are everywhere. Your job is to recognize them and then take appropriate action.
Example. Don’t marry a woman who wants a hyphenated last name. The desire of hyphenating the name is only the red flag of the shit that will eventually follow. |

Take the new name OR
Keep your old name OR Take the new name and change your middle name to your old name OR Die in a fire |

Got to honor the women's name by adopting the name of her father
|
|
I don't want to perpetuate the patriarchy, so I will not take my husband's name. Instead, I will keep my name. Wait a minute, my name is actually my father's name, so instead I will take my mother's maiden name. Wait a minute...

No hyphenated names in our family,
but I had my first wife make her maiden name her middle name, while she took my last name. She was a lawful immigrant, and I thought her making the last name her middle name might counteract some of the stupidity of the (then) I.N.S. I also had my first two children take wife #1's maiden name as their middle names, just in case I died. Again, I.N.S. incompetence. I won't take any woman's name as part of mine. |

Remind her that well known assassins and serial killers have 3 names.
|
|
You can take my name or not at this point I could care less. I am not hyphenating shit. Of course, I have been married for 28+ years and don't plan of doing it again so probably not much risk.
|
|
I worked with a guy that took his wife's last name. He took a LOT of shit over that cuck move.
|
|
Guys who take their wives names are cucks.
My wife hyphenated her name because both of her parents died the same year and she wanted to keep their name alive. I didn't agree with it but respected her decision and understood why she did it. Our daughter has my last name only. |
|
I avoid people with hyphenated last names, and if I do have to interact with them, I take nothing they say seriously.

If that trend continues, in a few generations you'll have Amy-Jo Addis-Ainly-Gallup-Jackson-Talbot-Parson-Paris-Caley-Smith-Blake-Engles-Cavanaugh.

If they can't decide their sex why would their name be any easier?
|
|
|
Asians do similar, like they basically adopt the son in law he takes over the family business with the wife and he changes family names. They do it because the don't have a clear successor and want to keep the company family, and that's how they do it.

Not thought out.
Reminds me of the Monty Python skit “Election night” very silly party name: Malcolm Peter Brian Telescope Adrian Umbrella Stand Jasper Wednesday (pops mouth twice) Stoatgobbler John Raw Vegetable (whinnying) Arthur Norman Michael (blows squeaker) Featherstone Smith (whistle) Northcott Edwards Harris (fires pistol, then 'whoop') Mason (chuff-chuff-chuff-chuff) Frampton Jones Fruitbat Gilbert (sings) 'We'll keep a welcome in the' (three shots) Williams If I Could Walk That Way Jenkin (squeaker) Tiger-drawers Pratt Thompson (sings) 'Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head' Darcy Carter (horn) Pussycat (sings) 'Don't Sleep In The Subway' Barton Mainwaring (hoot, 'whoop') Smith |

It's a sign of mental illness as far as I'm concerned. A red flag at the least. Sorry to any sane people raised by weirdos, but you could always fix your name.

Our society is not all lost.
My daughter's fiancee actually wanted to take our last name as he has no love for his own last name (adopted and rough childhood). It's a PITA to get a change prior to wedding as he decided to switch to his grandfathrs sir name. They will just use his current sir name. A young lady I work with was asked if she planned to hyphenate her last name with her upcoming marriage (this friday). She emphatically stated Hell No. Her maiden name is Brown, his sir name is Carr. She said she is not a brown car. |

I think I would have weeded out a woman who wanted to hyphenate her name a long time before we got close to marriage stage.
|
|
People with hyphenated names tell me everything I need to know about them and that is we are probably not going to get along because they are leftists.
