Double barrel names

[User removed 4]

I know at least three men who've added their partner's surname on to their own when they got married.

(Two married to women, the other a civil partnership with another guy). There have been a couple of footballers who've taken their wives' names too, one was Ian Thomas-Moore & I forget the other.

do you mean ian storey-moore ?

It's not really relevant to this but my middle name is my mother's maiden name. It has often been done in our family and I think it's nice - it keeps a woman's name alive for one more generation at least.

I like that idea (it would have worked well for us as my wife only has a married sister and her parents are both deceased...).

Additionally, two in our first team squad, & I'm pretty sure there's at least a couple in the DS too.

My god we're posh!

Lots in football now though.

Shaun & Bradley Wright Phillips. James Ward-Prowse. Sylvain Ebanks-Blake & his Wolves team mate Ethan Ebanks-Landell. AJ Leitch-Smith. A team without a hyphenated chap in the side is, frankly, bloody common.

None of course are a patch on the poshest footballer in history: Forbes Phillipson-Masters

I think Troy Archibald-Henville gives him a run for his money.

And Nathaniel Knight-Percival.

Less so Hal Robson-Kanu, Shane Cansdell-Sheriff or Abdoulae Bell-Baggie.

Abdoulae Bell-Baggie.

Please please please tell me he plays for West Brom

 

[Mr Smggles]

Adam El-Abd

Technically, thats not a double barreled surname.

Disappointingly it's Tranmere Rovers. Had a loan spell with Crawley once.

Sorry

I know an Anne-Marie Denham-Staples-Jones.

A friend of mine, called Linda Harrison, married a bloke named Charles Pinder. To avoid her being called Linda Pinder, the newlyweds changed their names to Harrison-Pinder.

I think that is becoming a lot more common nowadays. I know a fair few women who have kept their own surname when they marry simply because it is easier in their work life/career.

Jake Forster-Caskey?

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Jake Forster-Caskey?

He's was born Jake Caskey & has not married a Foster...I've really no idea why his name shouldn't still be his birth one

 

[Vegas Seagull]

I've noticed these are seem to be appearing more. My family had one, but my grandfather got rid of it. Do you have one? If so why? And what happens further down the line....triple barrel names?

What happens further down the line is that a greater percentage than normal couples split up and their names appear on financial difficulty/collections lists.
Now, why this is, (independent women? weak male? Confused household boundaries? Etc etc) would make a good case study

The Pine-Coffins, esp this one, who also appears to be James Bond...

it's all been made worth it by the fact when that video plays at the Amex before the teams come out, my name is shouted out by one of the commentators on it.

You know you've started a game now?
