    @canefan I dont agree either, but the process is better IMO.

    I didnt have the issue, couldnt grow facial hair at school!

    I can barely grow it now!

    You’re lucky , my whanau got the lycanthrope gene . The only time it’s ever come in handy was when my brother took out first place in a hairiest back competition at a pub and won a $250 bar tab .

    that's going straight on the CV

    Edit: Saffers were called hairybacks apparently

    see I think this mother did this the right way with her son, rather than defying school rules and fighting form there, they are complying and then seeking a review.

    And yet he's allowed that haircut?

    First time I've ever encountered this. I thought the hyphenated names were the perfect solution for the kids, not adults.

    Was wondering who "ex kiwi league international " Robbie Hunter-Paul was...

    *Hunter-Paul is well placed to comment on Super League impact.

    The Aucklander - best known in New Zealand as Robbie Paul before hyphenating his name when he married Lisa Hunter in 2010 – spent his entire 19-year professional career in England.*

    From an article on stuff talking up SBW

    What if two people with hyphenated names get married and want to... hyphenate? Do they end up with 4 surnames? And then their kids end up with 8? 16? 32?

    It's a stupid idea.

    Both parents hyphenating is, but children adopting hyphenated names works perfectly well for hundreds of millions of people.

    How selfish, not thinking of the next generation beyond thier own.
    Hyphenated names are retarded.

    Heh heh Andrew Smith-Jones marries Andrea Samson-Whitely and their child becomes Bruce Samson-Whitely-Smith-Jones! That's quite some signature!

    @Kirwan they make up a name like those people earlier in this thread!

    Funnily I met up with a client last year, and when I met him I thought he seemed familiar, but name didnt ring a bell, he recognised my name, and then said his name at school and how his name was now a combination of him and his wife's name.

    Assume it is no different if they split up they both change names back?

    Merged names should be more of a thing a Smith marries a 'Brown' they could become 'Smown' or 'Brith' way more interesting and sustainable.

    My mate changed his last name at marriage to his mothers maiden name as he was the end of that family name.

    His wife to be was thrilled too as if he kept his original last name she would have been Mrs Crabb

    The Herald paywall increased digital revenue by 1% , who would have thought people would have been reluctant to pay for garbage like Lizzy Marvellys weekly article about how shit men are?

    That means more cut and pastes from twitter, reddit and facebook . You have to wonder at the mindset that thinks more people will be prepared to pay for that.
