Hello, you!
Lipstick Apathy
if you have a hyphenated last name, that's an excellent way of advertising to everyone you meet that...

*you get offended very easily, and indeed look for things to get offended about

*you are completely humorless

*you take other people's ludicrous imaginary neuroses very seriously, and you demand others take your imaginary neuroses seriously too

*you use the word "problematic" in everyday conversation

*you have participated in at least one workshop on sustainability

...among other sins. pick one name, you goose!

Also if you get married and decide to hyphenate instead of taking the other person's last name you're just passing the buck onto your child, if it's a girl now it's on THEM to ditch your lovely name when they get married. I hate it but I'm sure some of them will just add another hyphen on.

Agreed, OP.
Also, you're totally screwing over your kids. Sure, it's fine for you to be Kyle Huntington-Smith, but what about when little Devon Huntington-Smith grows up and wants to get married to Morgan Keith-Wozinczczky?
Now he's stuck with Devon Huntington-Smith-Keith-Wozinczczky until he divorces two years later like the yuppie scum he is.

heard a segment on NPR about how the hyphenating fad is dying out as the kids who grew up with hyphenated last names have reached adulthood and now know 1)hyphenated last names are a bitch when it comes to filling out forms and 2)marrying someone else with a hyphenated last name becomes a clusterfuck of who takes what name

Yeah so what is happening to kids with hyphenated names marrying? Even if it's with a non hyphen that is still 3 last names now and would only get worse each generation.

quote:

One of the world's great empire builders Li Ka-shing oversees a far-reaching conglomerate with 270,000 employees in 52 countries. The richest person in Asia, he could be a lot wealthier if he so chose. The reason: Li is probably the only person on earth who invested in Facebook as a high-stakes hobby and made no money from it. Li bet on Facebook, a decision he says took him five minutes to make in December 2007, through his charitable Li Ka Shing Foundation. In fact, all of his tech bets, whether in Spotify, Siri, or more recently Bitcoin payment service provider, BitPay, benefit the foundation, not him.

On the one hand, he invested in Buttcoin. On the other, he's filthy rich and his last name is literally Ka-shing

It would actually be kind of cool if you used just one last name but had a running official list that's used in the rarest of occasions like weddings or whatever that went back through your lineage.

This is a bad thread, OP is dumb and has bad opinions. I'm literally the only person on the planet Earth with my name and it rules. lol if you'd rather be one of a hundred million John Smith's than have a rad and unique name.

With that being said it does put me in an awkward position re: naming my progeny.

I knew a guy in high school with a hyphenated name, but his parents didn't hyphenate neither their own names nor his older brother's. His mom kept her name, his brother got his dad's name, and they just said "lol gently caress you" and gave him a hyphenated name.

He was also a tremendous rear end in a top hat, so I agree with the op
