Re: Are Double-Barrelled Surnames... Pretentious?

My birth mother was a double barrelled surname, (shown on one of my birth certificates), the second birth certificate shows my father´s surname (French), neither of those surnames were used when growing up (at least not very often). My first husband had a double barrelled surname, my son of course still has, but since I use Mr Clumsy´s surname I´m now simply single surname.

Re: Are Double-Barrelled Surnames... Pretentious?

So what happens when a double-barrelled couple become "partners" - will they adopt a quadruple-barrelled surname to identify themselves and any children .....

I have never understood why we don't just stick to the names we were born with..... but then what name would your kids be given?

And then forenames .....

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...-a-hyphen.html

Overall one in six of all girls’ first names in use are now double-barrelled, the analysis of data published last week by the Office for National Statistics shows.

The number of variations involving “-Rose” alone has increased fourteen-fold in as many years.

In 2014 there were 245 different variations of Rose in maternity wards, ranging from Amelia-Rose – given to 225 girls – to the 16 Esmae-Roses and Dolly-Roses and three each called Dakota-Rose and Destiny-Rose.

There were also 59 girls named Summer-Rose but – much like their horticultural namesakes – winter varieties were rarer: with just five Winter-Roses in addition to four spelt Wynter-Rose.
