Tasavallan Posted January 15 The first player I can recall that had a hyphenated name was Ian Storey-Moore who played for Forest and Man Utd in the 70s. IIRC he was forced to use only Storey when he played for England. These days almost every EPL club has a player with a hyphenated name from Alexander-Arnold to Ward-Prowse. Is Oxlade-Chamberlain the longest? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jamboj Posted January 15 The whole thing of hyphenating your surname with your spouses is a bit odd, when you start having kids. If Mr and Mrs Taylor-Fletcher have a kid called Jamie who marries Alison Oxlade-Chamberlain, then does he become Jamie Taylor-Fletcher-Oxlade-Chamberlain?

He Who Cannot Be Named Posted January 15 (edited) Most of them will be double barrelled names, the difference being they take both parents surnames, as apposed to taking your partners surname. Edited January 15 by He Who Cannot Be Named Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilson Posted January 15 I am told it reflects the changes in society. Less people married, more living together, so partners don't take the others' name, hence the kids take both.. Po faced post of the year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Brightside Posted January 16 Juanjo, full name was something like Juan Jose Perez Carraconda. With the Perez Carraconda part being the surnames of his parents. Juanma was the same and so was Isma Goncalves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juanma was the same and so was Isma Goncalves. Spanish naming customs- Carricondo was his dads surname, Perez was his mum's and Juanjo is just like Billy is to William. He's officially Juan Jose Carricondo Perez, but in real life he's Juanjo Carricondo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
