Are we a generation away from triple barrelled surnames being commonplace?

Kari decided to keep her maiden name, but have it become one of her middle names. I'm the only male child in this line so if I'd taken her name (which was discussed at some point) that would have been the end of the Graydons from this branch going back 3-4 generations, whereas Kari has a brother (and male cousins) who can carry on her maiden name for another generation or two

It's a silly thing to think about, but I guess we put a lot of stock in our surnames, even though they're relatively meaningless.
