Kidd-Gilchrist is the last name of the Kentuck player drafted by the Charlotte Bobcats. His name got me to thinking about what would happen if the new trend of hypenated names is carried to the extreme. After all, he could marry a woman with a hypenated name herself and if they passed that name on to their children, then the kid would have a name like Sarah Smith-Jones-Kidd-Gilchrist and if Sarah grows up and marries Paul Johnson-Thompson-Kennedy-Macmillin and has a kid named Bart his last name woulod be Smith-Jones-Kidd-Gilchrist-Johnson-Thompson-Kennedy-MacMillian. How would you like to write that name on a daily basis?
I've always thought the hypenated namne was stupid. Either keep your own, decide which name to use, the husbands or the wifes, go with tradition, or make a combo name like Kidchrist or Gilild.
