Wonderful to have a good laugh on a rainy day!



My Son in Law has taken my family surname and added his own at the end, hyphenated

Rather not say his surname .

She must be 78.
If she was either of the others she wouldn't be allowed here.

They are sometimes, used by unmarried mothers to incorporate both parents surname. That's not so bad but when the child has a double-barrelled christian name too, it can become a bit ridiculous!

What are your views on double barrelled surnames? Is yours one? Would you like one?
Are they pretentious, necessary or, just chavvy?!!
Very true.

From time to time I think what it would be like if I simply inserted a hyphen between my B and my R.

The R is rather common, but the B is quite the opposite. Hyphenated, I think they would make me sound quite posh!

On the other hand, I think chavvy might me nearer the mark.
