Why do some Men have Hyphenated Last Names? Is this a Black Thing mostly?

[Stuntone]

So the Mom got married and hyphenated her name? Then had kids and gave them her hyphenated name instead of the father's?



And you're a weak man if you let your wife hyphenate her name. No balls.

That's show of power by a woman.

We all have literal slavemaster last names, if they hadn’t been altered like Luther Vandross so it doesn't matter at the end of the day

mom and dad weren’t married then came a kid. Mom doesn’t want kid to have dads last name (because they aren’t married) so they meet in between.

The kid has his and her last name.

If she gets married, her new child will have the dads last name only.

This is common in the dominican republic.

When I joined the Air Force, They included both my last-names on my uniform
which together totaled 17 characters. I had to get it fix and only include my dad's last name.
