Well to be fair... I am a beast! RAAAWWWRRRRR!!!!!

Kitten · 26-08-2011, 11:55

And to be fair, that's not a bad photo of me

Will · 26-08-2011, 12:06

I would tbh...

The Spanish have always done something similar with surnames so that approach could be adopted to avoid tripe or quadruple barrelled names.

Alternatively there's the approach Iain Banks favours in the Culture books.

This would make me 'Sun-Earther Stewart Jesterman Wilson of Overdowne'

Jellytot and I are both having Chris' last name. Not for any traditional reason just because I've always wanted a shorter last name. My dad is steadfastly campaigning for Cunningham-McGuire, he can take a running jump. I have two sisters and we have 2 cousins who are girls as well so we are the last generation.

I wanted to double barrel, I'm the last in the family with my surname, but as were not having kids it doesn't really matter!

I have adouble barrelled first name though
