I hate them. Do the kids get the hyphenated last name too? What happens if a child who has a hyphenated last name grows up and wants to get married to another person who has a hyphenated last name? Do they then have to use FOUR names!?!? Also, people who have hyphenated last names are snooty 99.9% of the time. Most of them also have bad breath.

Please join me and tell me why YOU think hyphenated last names suck.

My son has a hyphenated last name.

Jerk.

I'm hoping he chooses to just go by my last name when he's older.

...so why exactly do you think that hyphenated last names "suck"?

hyphenaited names suck!!!!

It's worse when u have a name like mine...

Two personnal names and two family name

here in portugal people can have up to 8 names...

i think they're okay, but what if you have a daughter and you give her the hyphenated name and then she gets married and she wants to hyphenate too? keep it up over generations and your great grandchild's name is gonna end up looking like a damn law firm.

I hate my first name:

Bruno

It sound like a cheap porn actor name!

that's I use my second personnal name: Miguel!

Pretty soon your initials might actually be able to spell out a sentence. What if your initials ended up saying something foul or offensive? Slippery slope.

personally, i'd love that.

JustErin said:

btw: I bet your son is never snooty like the other hyphenated last name people. I'm sure he's nice, especially if he takes after you!

Anx said:

You're so snooty.

Oh god. I've got a funny story...

My husband's ex wife (he was her husband #1) was so pissed that he and I were getting married, she hyphenated her last name with her husband #2 and husband #3s last names, thinking in some psychotic way that it would make my husband jealous.



pssst, he doesn't care either way.

The ex wife definitely seems very snooty.

I'll ask my friend Julie Bukkake-Luvr-Facial-Jizz to see what she thinks.

Imagine Elizabeth Taylor doing that!

ReturnofDOOK said:

Too late man. She's gonna hyphenate your buttcheeks now.

ReturnofDOOK said:

So she would be Elizabeth Taylor-Hilton-Wilding-Todd Fischer-Burton- Burton -Warner-Fortensky-Jackson

ReturnofDOOK said:

Nice backpeddling.

But seriously, my son lives with me so to have just his father's last name would be kinda weird... and I felt that just taking my name wasn't fair to his father.

I'm sure he'll decide to go with just one or the other when he is old enough to choose. He better pick mine.

ReturnofDOOK said:

Nah, just stupid.

how do you feel about women just keeping their names

emm said:

She still has to figure out what to do about her kids.

This is why I don't breed. I can't figure this kind of shit out.

emm said:

I kept mine!

MikeMatronik said:

I love it! What's wrong with Bruno?

HamsterHuey said:

I like it too! it's cool!

ZombieKitten said:

In my world Bruno is cool indeed. Herman was just such an old-fashioned name. I've grown to like it, though.

I like that about age. Old things that looked horrid back then now look pretty good. I am good at being a Herman.

HamsterHuey said:

Herman is cool too!

I do like old fashioned names, they are all gonna be cool once more, you will see

ZombieKitten said:

Herman never was nor will be ever cool, lol
But thanks for trying.
If only my name was Bruno.

Well, my last name used to be hyphenated three generations ago, when my grand father's father decided it was too much of a bother and butchered off the second name.
