What happens when two people with hyphenated last names get married?
Post Flair (click to view more posts with a particular flair)
Post Body

I get that they could just keep their last names individually or pick one of their last names, but given they already have an inclination to hyphenate, are there people with 4 last names? If so, where does it end?

Example: Hector Plazas-Rodriguez gets married to Wanda Smith-Wesley. Would they be Mr. and Mrs. Plazas-Rodriguez-Smith-Wesley? How do they choose the order of all the last names?

Comments

you get what's called a polynamial. If you remember the FOIL method, the name would be Plazassmith-Plazaswesley-Rodriguezsmith-Rodriguezwesley.
