Tasavallan Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboj Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 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, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Most of them will be double barrelled names, the difference being they take both parents surnames, as apposed to taking your partners surname.

Wilson Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 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.

Spanish naming customs- Carricondo was his dads surname, Perez was his mum's and Juanjo is just like Billy is to William.
