Hyphenated Last Names

[Ben Lamb]

Hyphenated last names are pretty common in Canada. Most provinces have rules about it and they're essentially: "sucks to suck, pick no more than two names and figure it out".

Some nanny-state Bolshevism right there.

Imma ragret this but.......I married a woman who's maiden name is the same as my last name. I'M 1,000,000% POSITIVE WE AREN'T RELATED! She'd been married before and so did I. She said it was $200 at the courthouse to change her name or $40 at the JP and I was the cheaper option Well, we were at one of her family reunions in 2012 and several of her family members asked if I took her name. I always thought she should have put a hyphen and simply squared it!

Wife hyphenated her married name. Payroll system truncated the last few digits of her name as too many letters resulted to fit in the old fixed-length, pre-defined database world. Our sons have my last name. No daughters.

My daughter-in-law stayed with just her maiden name as is a professional and had her career underway prior to getting engaged plus having the obviously foreign last name is sort of a secret handshake with ex-pats from her country. The offspring use my son's last name.

Autofill means these days I rarely type but a few letters of my wife's name or address, etc so am not bothered in the least bit by length of those things.

My aunt's child married her sister's (my other aunt's) child. These are both sisters of my mother. The kids grew up 3 houses apart with different last names though at times as toddlers they used to take baths together. There were sleepovers. Vacations sharing beds as grade schoolers. Pictures exist. Lot of pictures exist.

Now, one of the two was adopted but still...if you grow up as first cousins then maybe the adoption loophole should not be played. The wedding did not seat guests on the bride's side or the groom's side, for instance. I mean, his mother-in-law used to be his aunt. Each aunt is now a great-aunt and grandmother to the one kid born of the marriage.

There's a well worn bawdy airplane joke about fellow named Tonto - Goldstein, but his friends call him Bubba.

It do be like that! Thankfully I've only lived here 24 years so I have that going for me.

Just pick one way or the other, I don't care.

But when your last name is Del Monteverde and his last name is Van Schmerhorn for the love god don't make your name Del Monteverde-Van Schmerhorn. Worst fricken email address I had to ever type in...

No-pe
