A Proper Socialist (Labour) name

My daughter and her wife use both surnames with no hyphen though a couple they know do hyphenate.
Another group to consider who are neither 'posh' nor 'common'!!!

varian yes, that's why there were more double-barrelled children there apparently!

Jalima he was plain old Mark Zist but increasingly of late has suffered from double barrel envy so added the Mann. What's a socialist without their hyphen just ask Rebecca Long-Bailey.

When we were young double barrelled names were definitely posh jalima but now they ard more likely to indicate parents who were unmarried or in serial relationships so pretty common amongst the common folk!

I must be having a dense day as I had to say Mark Zist-Mann half a dozen times before I got it

Jeremy Borrows A Lott somehow wandered over to the Tory thread along with colleagues Mark Zist-Mann and Lettuce Gow Bank-Kruppt. Lettuce is a popular name it seems in this party as there is also Lettuce Havitt-Hall.

varian and Andrew-Drummond-Murray of Matrick is now just Andrew Murray.

Tony Benn was Viscount Stansgate and renounced it to become an MP.
Perhaps they think double-barrelled names makes them sound privileged, although when my friend was teaching in an under-privileged area she said she had never before come across so many children with double-barrelled names.

Rose Springs - Chase

Think this one might be one for the Greens

Do socialists like hyphenated names? After all Anthony Wedgewood-Benn changed his.

I suppose mine should be 'Thomas' but Tom sounds more down-to-earth, old-fashioned Labour!

Mine is Edith Repton-King-George.

I reckon I'm really landed gentry!!
