I went to school with a girl whose last name was Bell. She married a fellow by the name of Ringer. Of course she uses both names, and they're Episcopalians to boot!
Had a co-worker, name of Johnson, who was complaining that his fiancée couldn't make up her mind about taking his surname after marriage. I asked why she didn't hyphenate. He looked at me with annoyance and walked off. Another co-worker informed me that her surname was Long. This is true.

ReplyDeleteannski, well of course! I'd go with that double name, too.
ReplyDeleteI remember a wedding announcement headlined Ware-Wolff.

ReplyDeleteWho spends time reading the wedding announcements to gather the collection?
ReplyDeleteAre you saying that you didn't find these yourself in the Lafourche Parish newspapers' wedding announcements, Mimi?
ReplyDeletePaul, the names would be Boudreaux, Thibodaux, Landry, Guillot and so on, not so much given to forming funny pairings.
