rant time: double-barrelled surnames

[x]

double-barrelled surnames. one can understand it from the so-called aristocracy because most of them are so inbred it's the only way they can keep track of who their relatives are and who they shouldn't be bonking, but when it comes to footballers, it really is the height of twattishness, all because their ultra-low-IQ parents want to appear to be different to everyone else. these are the sort of arsewipes that saddle their son with some name like dayvighhhd or phranqie or suni aspect or their daughter with chavinion blonk or petl or mawrning jewdrops or genifuh, leaving the poor little sods to have to spell their names twenty times a day for the next 60 years or until they change it, out of sheer despair and exhaustion, to syd.

the irritation of hearing these double-barrelled surnames during football commentaries is enough to have one reaching for the off button. were one in gareth whatsisname's position, little robin loftus-road wouldn't get a look-in until he decides whether he's a loftus or a road.

I’m waiting for the time two of them marry.No doubt the ladette will want to keep her prized name .

wastes time and the names don't flow. there was some athletics woman the other year called something like johnson-jackson. a name like pine-coffin does at least have the advantage of being slightly amusing.

Apparently, a young lass who loved horses, and never married, changed her name by deed-poll from:

Paula St. John Lawrence Lawler Byrne Strong Yeats Stevenson Callaghan Hunt Milne Smith Thompson Shankley Bennett Paisley O'Sullivan to:

Paula St. John Lawrence Lawler Byrne Strong Yeats Stevenson Callaghan Hunt Milne Smith Thompson Shankley Bennett Paisley O'Sullivan-O'Hehir(O'Hare) ' cos she was pissed off with her Liverpool supporting father.

Can you imagine if she had been born this year with all those foreign Liverpool players ?

do you know, tc, that reminds of me of a photo in a book from decades ago. i seem to remember a b&w photo of a similarly unfortunate wee lass having her photo taken with said roger hunt. not sure i quite understand the additional bit though.

i must confess that i forgave a certain england cricketer who not only had a hyphenated surname, but also hyphenated forenames:

Ebony-Jewel Cora-Lee Camellia Rosamond Rainford-Brent

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebony-Jewel_Rainford-Brent

however, that kind of thing can get out of hand. very common in some of the usa, but some of the name pairings do not go well together.

Never understood why Olivia Newton-John was nicknamed "Pissed- as-a" to her friends myself.

just remembering that someone - possibly a radio one dj from the days of yore - came up with some fake suppositions wherein, for instance, if isla st clair married barry white and then divorced him and married bryan ferry, she might be called isla white-ferry.

on an unrelated topic, if whoopee goldberg married peter cushing, she'd been whoopee cushing.

viewers are urged to think of others.

I'm nearing 60 years of age, and not a week goes by without some idiot asking me 'is that Wright with a 'w'?

The aristocracy actually went the other way, binning the triple barrelled Saxe-Coburg-Gotha for the shorter, more English Windsor.

Most of those are foreign. They weren't eligible to play for England.

British names...nae foreign ? Are you a devolutionist ?

Not English to someone who is English is a foreigner. Think of the teams we could have had if Mackay, Bremner, Lorimer, Gray, Gilzean, Law, Best, Hansen, Dalglish, Rush, Giles, Johnstone and others hadn't been foreign and could have played for England.
