#22 Having Two Last Names

In recent years, white people love giving their children two last names.   This is a direct result of white women thinking it’s sexist and outdated to take on their husband’s name.  It is also sexist that the child would only carry the name of one parent, especially since the unnamed parent is the one who carried the child for nine months. The only logical solution is to give the kid a split last name.  White people can’t get enough of it!

As a result we have children growing up named Elijah Sadler-Moore.

While it’s true that many Spanish speaking cultures do this, often times their names are crazy long but are often shortened into sweet one word nicknames like Pele.  Also, there is a historical precedent.

Being a recent phenomenon, we have yet to see what happens when one split named person marries another split named person.  Does their kid end up with four last names?

I have a feeling that College Lacrosse and Soccer Jerseys are going to look pretty strange in the next few years.

I have a hyphenated last name but that’s only cause I was born in Quebec and for some reason my parents were basically forced to give me both of their names. The only other people I know who have 2 last names are also all born in Quebec and/or are French. And I don’t think it’s anything new there, maybe just other North Americans have started picking it up now?


 

Well I have three surnames……
So I kinda went too far there..

Yes!


 

i have a hyphenated last name. of course, i’m white. but i’m also a 17 year old girl so i like indie (as a culture), striving to be a hipster, travelling abroad during the summer and i’m canadian.

..none of that was a lie, either.
