Hyphenated married names

[slofox]

You know how people like to hyphenate married names? Like Kensington-Smythe and the like?

Sometimes you just plain shouldn't. See why below. Feel free to add your own...

Looney - Warde
Best - Lay
Busch - Rash
Wang - Holder
Beaver - Wetter
Filler - Quick
Drinkwine - Layer
Gowen - Geter
Weener - Whipple
Kuntz - Dick
Busch - Graber
Wacker - Dailey
MacDonald - Berger
Butts - McCracken


All these are from newspaper wedding photo clips...the mind boggles...

Beaver-Wetter sounds like fun!

I know of a Shaw-Twilley (not sure if his given name was Ivor though)

I also know of a Drew Peacock!. Beggers belief that he doesn't call himself Andrew!

[SMOKEU]

I once knew a Peter File.

It is a great foolishness all this hyphen business

There was (is still?) a plumber in New Plymouth, name of Jim Pipe. He called his son Dwayne...

I kid you not, but I new a guy whose name was Wayne Kerr, I always felt sorry for him.

Only slightly worse than Dwayne Pipe.

I used to know a guy called 'Drew Peacock' and went to school with an 'Isaac Hunt'.

I wonder if it's the same Drew Peacock who's brother Chris Peacock I've worked with a lot.
