My daughter and I are both allergic to cats, she more than me. But there are already enough crazy, stray cats over here!
I could give a shit about any of the traditions. Probably end up hyphenated if I get married. It just isn't even a part of my thought process.
Not a fan of hyphenated names. I’d be more in favor of an anagram picked from the combined letters of both people’s last names. What better statement of joining together could there be? Hyphens are too easy to break apart.
Yeah, I don't get the hyphenated shit either. It was weird in school when kids had hyphenated names. Even my college roommate had one, but then eliminated one of the last names later. Maybe better to make up a new name if you are gonna hyphenated it. Or both just keep their OG names. Seems kinda sus for a man to get a hyphenated last name incorporating his wife's name.
The problem with hyphen names is when does it end? If two hyphenated people marry, do your kids now have four last names? And what happens with their kids? Six last names? Should just go back to the Norwegian way. My kid would be Nate Nateson.
How can something be sus if it doesn't mean a goddamned thing? Names are worthless. We are just lumps of flesh that get to be alive and think for a short time. I'm not going to spend that time worrying about an arrangement of letters or symbols.
