Serious question. I have been wondering for some time how hyphenated names work over a couple of generations.

For example when a child such as Sam Bankman-Fried has a hyphenated name from father and mother, marries someone with a hyphenated name lets say Mary Jones-Smith. Does Mary become Mary Bankman-Fried-Jones-Smith? Do their kids take on Rugrat Bankman-Fried-Jones-Smith? If so what then happens when they get married?

EDIT

A lot of comments but no-one seems to have addressed my real question and that is what happens in generation two or three when everybody already has hyphenated names from generation 1 and they want to have kids or get married do the hyphens keep adding on?

I thought about that years ago.

My solution was simple. I won't get involved with a hyphenated woman or one who wants to be hyphenated after marriage.

In Mexico they use mom and dad’s names but without the hyphen. When a woman gets married she drops mom’s name and add husband’s name at the end. Or at least that’s how it used to work.

They make it up as they go.

But in any case, a child under no circumstances (except perhaps in some South American cultures) should ever have a hyphenated name. He or she gets the father's name. Period.

This Bankman-Fried loser started out life wrong from the get go.

Good way to put it.

They are pretty traditonal in the Hispanic world IIRC much like how patronymic and matronymic names were/are in Iceland and Scandinavia but I suspect a lot of them are done as a virtue signal amongst the Left for whatever reason.

I worked with a hardcore lib that flat-out REFUSED to take her husband's name after she got married. "He doesn't own me!" she would say.

I'm kind of patronymically named. My middle name is my dad's first (and only) name. In Russia my middle name would end in -ovich, but we're not Russian.

When a feminist things she's special because she keeps her surname just remind her that it's her FATHER'S last name.

If you were female your middle name would end in "ovna".

IMO They don’t. We are nominally a patrilineal society and should stay that way with very limited exceptions. Hyphenated last names are cumbersome and unnecessary.

She put that shit on you like you aint never had and you'd change your last name LMAO. The both of Yas.

I asked this question recently to some of the Hispanic people in our organization. They explained a mother and father relationship in their name. For instance, Juan's mother's last name was Perez. His Dad's last name was Jiminez. So Juan's name could be Juan (middle name) Perez Jiminez.

In an area where I worked, we were given names of people allowed on premises. When folks got to the gate, we had Juan Julio Perez Jiminez Jorge when their listed name was Juan Perez........Sorry, no entry allowed!

It was too late by the time my wife figured that out.

Ends up too many letters, doesn't fit on everything, like credit cards. Also when doing airplane reservations they don't always figure out we are together.

An Indian woman I work with has her own last name because her husband literally did not have a last name. Their children have her last name. All kinds of variations depending on your country of origin. I guess he has chosen one for legal purposes in the U.S.

My grandfather’s first and middle name on his birth certificate was just initials “D.B.” and that is what he was called. At one time initial names were fairly common. In WWII the army made guys with initial names choose or make up first and middle names if all they had were initials.

No normal, non-beta man would allow his child to have a hyphenated name. It’s not surprising that SBF has a leftist college professor father and mother. I also hate spelling out and saying their extra long names.

I don't care really? I don't care if they pick guys/girls; hyphen/space; what order they appear; what they chose to call their children; or if they eat name brand or store brand Corn Flakes.

It affects my life zero. I just hope they are happy.

A couple I know decided to really change it up when they got married. Both had been married before, and neither wanted a link to the past so they BOTH changed their last names… to a word that has meaning to them but has probably never been used as a last name.

It works for them…
