only ones I know apart from the upper crust snobby ones are kids with parents who have split

fack that, its just doubles your work every time you write ur surname

We have one I know through work who adopted his wife’s surname when they got married because it is double barreled and it makes him feel more important

Read a book called ghost writer. Apparently this is the posh surname in London circles https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonham_Carter_family

What happens when someone with a double-barrelled surname marries someone else with a double-barrelled surname? Are we going to have quadruple-barrelled surnames?

There is a guy in Dundee with a double barrelled surname

Golac-admin I think it is

I used to work with a girl with the surname Pope, married a bloke surname Hunter.

They became Mr. & Mrs. Pope-Hunter

You’re not truly posh unless you have a double barrelled first name. Usually involving “Leigh” or “Lee”.
Kelsey-Leigh, Stacey-Lee being good examples of really posh names.

Also having a surname as a first name is reserved for the extra posh. Morgan, Jordan, ‘Kenzie, Tyler, Casey, for example. You know someone’s posh if they’re called any of those.

ultra feminazi women thinking giving up their surname is some sort of sacrilege to their vaginas i'm guessing

There must be a lot of posh people in China and Korea in that case

I am a registrar, some of the names we register are nuts.
My all time strangest is a boy who has the rangers nine in a row team as a middle name. Mental

Speaking of names, I used to go to college with a lad called "Clint", don't get many clints about, also there's a fella at our work called "Elton", again, not too many Eltons about

It’s all about the rise of individualism and the desperation to be a celebrity. Parents want their kids to be more unique (if that’s possible) by giving them unusual names.

Fckin selfie generation.

I hate everything.

A girl I know called her son Khal.

She's a game of thrones fantatic, I'm worried the next one will be called Hotpie
