Well, we can't see what you are referring to, but I will say this.

I have a rule in life. Never, ever trust a women with a hyphenated name. NEVER!

I dated a Maine girl for several years who decided to hyphenate her name BEFORE she got married.
Her "new" surname was her mother's maiden name followed by her father's name.

To make a long story short, I will tell you that she's a psychiatric nurse now.
That's the perfect job for her.

So, when kids with hyphenated last names marry other kids with hyphenated last names their kids will have, what, FOUR last names?

Those probably have appeared on Jay Leno's Headlines segment. He likes to show unionized names like these.

Note to all these woman: Think before you hyphenate your name. If you do, plan on many jokes behind your back.

Sure. It's a wussy-sounding name that will get him beaten up all through junior high ;0)

Her "new" surname was her mother's maiden name followed by her father's name.

In Maine that could be quite funny considering the state slogan is "Maine 1.5 million people, 5 last names", there a pretty good chance that she hyphenated her last name to be "Smith-Smith" LOL

Those hyphenated names are idiotic.

They should stick with the old system of naming. OR better yet, use the Icelandic system -
the daughter of Sven is Ingrid Svensdatter, the son of Sven is Eric Svenson. Eric Sevenson's daughter is Ingrid Ericsdatter, and his son is Olaf Ericsson.

Makes more sense to me.

That's why my son named him that. It was either that or "Sue".

I think the point is that they should have given the kid a hyphen between Image and Station, because nobody will ever spell it right without one. The letters sort of run together unless you capitalize Station, but most people aren't going to do that. So the poor tyke is stuck with people misspelling and mispronouncing the name for the rest of her life.
