What about a few generations time if this trend continues, there won't be enough room on the shirt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterRam Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I have a pretentious double whammy, because my missus has a short christian name and my surname is short it looked a tad awkward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are born out of wedlock, you may take both your parents names. Maybe it's to do with the fact that marriage is going out of fashion?

Guest Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 It's a common cultural thing with those of Afro-Caribbean backgrounds. Willing to bet that those highlighted above are. And so many athletes as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StringerBell Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Don’t all the assassins have double-barrelled surnames? edit- just checked. It’s 2 first names that they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1of4 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I'm sure all league clubs would be happy if all their players had double-barrelled names. Have you seen how much they charge per letter, when putting a name on the back of a shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highgate Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Son takes the father's name, daughter takes the mother's name (or vice-versa). Nobody changes their name when married. Job done. No more Calvert-Maitland-Arnolds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve How Hard? Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I've seen this double-barrelled name on the back of a few Forest shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Ram Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I think the trend started when people stopped thinking they should be married. Plus there’s a lot of second or third marriages around and people wanting to include their kids names with their new names. Would you men feel less masculine if your Mrs asked you to take her name? Just wondered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh how common, all the brood have different surnames, what would the freshly manicured yummy mummies think at the school gates? I would never get into the first row of the school play with multiple surnames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His own crew sanctioned his killing for being a snidey, lying grass. Omar Little and Brother Mouzone dispatched him but Stringer never actually killed anyone himself as it transpired that despite all the bluster and posturing, he was just a whiny snitch who lacked the stomach for his chosen 'career'. As Avon Barksdale put it, not tough enough for the street, nor smart enough to escape it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stringer Bell was a self made man who did the best he could in trying circumstances. He tried to change the world around him for the better but was dragged down by the cancerous individuals around him. And you’ll need one of them portable battery thingymabobs to watch it whilst out.
