A Hyphenated Hypothetical  

Over the last few decades there has been an increasing practice of giving children a family name that is a hyphenated combination of both parents' family names. Indeed, there are some of you out there who read this blog who have been afflicted with this same curse.

What concerns me is this: 

What happens when Adam Shingle-Cuttlebutt marries Kylie Yakman-Carter? Do they name their son 'Corey Shingle-Cuttlebutt-Yakman-Carter'?

Furthermore, when Corey grows up and marries Myrtle Splint-Nokker-Lebowski-Burpland (fruit of the loins of Harry Splint-Nokker and Gretal Lebowski-Burpland), do they call their kid 'Agnes Shingle-Cuttlebutt-Yakman-Carter-Splint-Nokker-Lebowski-Burpland'? What the Hell are their children going to do? 

Agnes' son could have a full time job just signing on for the dole - "Ziggy Shingle-Cuttlebutt-Yakman-Carter-Splint-Nokker-Lebowski-Burpland-Magenta-Minkleson-Hoverschlit-Grandipple-Munchabil-Zwinkler-Mandible-Busby" is no easy chore. (and yes, we are related).

I am gravely concerned by not only this but other questions that have come to light because of it. Questions such as "Do I have too much time on my hands?"  - and - "Just what the hell is going on inside my head?"

If you can help, please write to me and let me know:

Be afraid, be very afraid...

Always good to hear from you too JD.

I'd be rather chuffed if Spamalot made it's way over to Perth.
