What’s in a Name?

Sitting in the hospital all the time leaves me plenty of time to think. Oddly enough, all I think about are mundane things.

For instance, some people when they get married, hyphenate their last names together. I think this fine, but sooner or later this is going to be a logistical problem, don’t you think?

Here’s an example. John Smith and Sally Jones get married. Now it’s Sally Jones-Smith. They have a boy named Bob Jones-Smith. Fine.

Now, Jeff Black and Mary Johnson get married, and she changes her name to Johnson-Black. They have a girl named Becky Johnson-Black. Again, fine.

But, what happens if these two children get married? Do we have a Becky Johnson-Black-Jones-Smith?

Where does it end? I need something to keep me busy, don’t I?
