While watching a game this week I mentioned to my wife that I thought the trend of hyphenated last names had gotten out of hand. She looked at me like a I had a third eye and proceeded to somewhat incredulously explain to me that it wasn't a "trend" it was because some women don't "just take their husband's last name". I get that. And I have no problem with it. Other than it has always sounded somewhat snooty to me and I wish they would just take their husband's name or keep their own. But, I never realized that they were also passing this practice on to their kids. I guess I'd never really thought about it and just assumed the kid took just one of the parents first names. Apparently not.
So what happens with the next generation? And the one after that? It won't take long before this is waaaay out of control. Just imagine, Marquez Valdes-Scantling marries JuJu Smith-Schuster (hey, gotta be inclusive here, it could happen), is Little Johnny called Little Johnny Valdes-Scantling-Smith-Schuster? Where does this madness stop?
