Close, not quite - but still interesting. I find hyphenated last names incredibly pretentious. There should be a law that unless the combined wealth of the families is north of a billion dollars, you can’t have one. Why? It’s inconsiderate of others, to have to remember and pronounce all of that.

And, quite a few countries have laws against giving children idiotic first names. I think that this needs to be considered here. “Freedom”? You can still call your kid Axolotl or DeTwanisha, or whatever, but it’s still going to be “Edward” or “Marie” on the resume’. People don’t have the freedom to cripple their children.
