[Football] Double double barreled names

[Gonzo BHA]

Imagine if Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall got married and decided to keep all of their names.

 

[Mr Bridger]

I once had a girlfriend with a double barreled surname. The funny/tragic part was that in a cringing Hyacinth Bucket way her dad had amalgamated his middle and last name in an attempt to boost his social standing.
The banging your head on the wall part was that this gave the family the surname......... Graham-Taylor!

Imagine if Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall got married and decided to keep all of their names.

Or imagine Willie Donachie’s daughter marrying Phil Babbs son.

The latest craze to retain maiden names within the confines of marriage is also pure affectation.

Why yes, how dare these uppity women refuse to surrender their entire identity and heritage. They should just accept convention and become Mrs [husband's name] forever, to correctly identify them as his property.

Christ, they'll be giving them the vote next.

Mrs Wz carried on using her maiden name when we got married 33 years ago. It was what she was known as in business and she didn't want to get all the literature and everything else associated with her businesses changed

Ah, Miss Whiplash perchance?

My wife kept her own name. Saved a lot of hassle.

To be fair to her, no woman is going to want the surname Tubthumper.

[Herr Tubthumper]

To be fair to her, no woman is going to want the surname Tubthumper.

Good point

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

The latest craze to retain maiden names within the confines of marriage is also pure affectation. It complicates genealogy, which has always started with the shortest names....Dodd, Hudd, Burn, Horn, Parr etc....and developed with ' kin ' and ' son '

As I mentioned, the Frau kept her name for two reasons.

1) It's a total pain in the arse to change everything with her maiden name both personally and professionally.
2) She's quite happy being identified by her original name.

At best there is absolutely no point to it. At worse it's outdated sexism. And the best argument you have is that i'm depriving the world of the name Tubson?

 

[Weststander]

Lawrence never married Nancy, so we missed out on:

Nancy Dell’Olio Dellaglio

[I think that one was concocted by Rob Bryden or Paul Merton on Have I Got News]

Childishly, it makes me laugh every time

[Whoislloydy]

I have a double-barreled surname because my parents didn't marry, and split when I was young. When i was around 12, I took my mothers surname on the end because her father was upset that his family name would end with his kids because his only son didn't have/want kids.

 

[US Seagull]

They do a lot of double barreled names in Hispanic cultures. The convention is usually that a child will take the first surname of each parent to generate their double-barreled surname.

Sussex Cricket is posh..

It’s getting silly I agree. At my local fire station there’s a recently married guy now called Pugh-Pugh-Barney-Mcgrew-Cuthbert-Dibble-Grubb

Quite by chance, Mrs P and I have the same surname. Strangely causes a lot of confusion having the same surname but not being married.
