Hyphenated last names

Does this piss anyone else off?? I just had to scan a courtesy mug of someone named Toni Hershkowitz-Zimmerman - what a jackass, huh? On a Mac, you can't even fit that many letters in a filename!

I try not to make fun of what people name themselves to often. But Hershkowitz-Zimmerman-what-a-jackass is a funny last name

There is a fix for that. I can't remember the file name, but it is supposed to fix the Mac file-name cap. Run a search... I'm too lazy. Sorry.

I have a hyphenated last name. I don't like having it all taht much, i mean don't get me wrong, i take pride in my last names, it's just a pain in the butt to write it down sometimes. So I usualy just keep it to my Dad's last name, and my mom really doesn't mind that.

At this newspaper, if someone has an 80th birthday, goes on a mission, has a 50th anniversary, gets married, joins the army, gets recruited to some college to play some sport, or gets their eagle scout award, etc., etc., we publish a mugshot and a paragraph about the person, as a courtesy to the community.

Obituary announcements, however, cost $$.

LOL... not like a coffee mug. I pictured you rolling a mug across a flatbed scanner.

You're ignorant for not knowing the correct usage of the word "your".

I just don't understand the hyphenation thing - I know it's kind of a feminist statement, but what if this woman has a daughter, who marries the son of some hyphenating people? Is the daughter then Sammy Hershkowitz-Zimmerman-Anderson-Reid?
