There's a somewhat well-known (in Yale circles) Yale couple from my era where the husband hyphenated his name. Even by Yale standards, that's pussy shit.

Whooo, google-related update. Apparently he's now taken his wife's name. Pussy shit^Pussy shit.

We all have our reasons to breed.

And if he's a boy, will he be "The Dude".

How the fuck do you people remember your great-grandparents' names? Did you actually know them? did you parents and grandparents talk about them by name a lot? I couldn't name a single one of my great-grandparents. I think the name of my paternal paternal great-grandfather is buried somewhere in my subconscious b/c my dad used to talk about how he would scare the shit out of his grandchildren with stories of the ghost who lived in the shed -- the ghost was named Old Man John.

Ok, so I remember the name of the ghost, but not my great grandfather's name. That's just spiffy.

He must have a GINORMOUS schlong to be so secure.

I knew a guy who did his last name and his wife's first name like this:

Jones\Smith

Not a hyphen. Not a slash. But a backslash. He also had a hairdo like that guy that crossed the border at Calais.

They divorced. If I recall correctly, she said he was too submissive.

The article, of course, identifies your attitude with the grandparents' generation. And this is Fox.

Have you been hanging out with Hank and Bilmore again?

When the generations are generally 16 years or less apart, it's much easier. And I suspect I could do half of my great-great grandparents, but that would be kind of like arguing over how tall Ted Kennedy is.

My grandmother thankfully nipped the Gumecindo trend in the bud. I don't think anyone was particularly upset that they didn't carry on that particular family tradition.

ETA: Lazaro is the family name that I'd probably bring back. It's been a few generations since anyone's had it, and I think it's pretty cool, despite the potential for mispronunciation / confusion.
great-grandparents? only one I ever met was Ora (but I knew her as Mema).

grandparents:
Peter and Marcia
Irvin and Edith

Edith is still around and kickin' it old skool. She's the coolest gramma ever to live. Sorry to, like, everyone else (other than my sister and my cousin) for missing out on having World's #1 Gramma (so cool she got rid of the "grand" in grandma).

Because when you're emasculated in every other way, it is important to maintain the little things.

Dude, you haven't met Aunt Bea. She is like 100, and still making jello molds in Jersey. She doesn't even mind that us goils are with whatever the male shiksas are called.

My cousin and her husband took a third name: her mother's maiden name. Weird.
