Stereotype of the day: Anyone else notice that the women with hyphenated names are uptight bitches?

If someone with a hyphenated name marries someone else with a hyphenated name, what happens?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-barrelled_name

A few upper-class families (e.g. Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe; Cave-Browne-Cave; Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound; Heathcote-Drummond-Willoughby; Vane-Tempest-Stewart) have "triple-barrelled" surnames (sometimes created when one spouse has a double-barrelled name and the other has a single surname). Nowadays, such names are almost always abbreviated in everyday use to a single or double-barrelled version. There are even a few "quadruple-barrelled" surnames (e.g. Montagu-Stuart-Wortley-Mackenzie, Hepburn-Stuart-Forbes-Trefusis, Stirling-Home-Drummond-Moray; Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax or the French/English surname Taylor-Jendernai-Eirron de Mountstuart, which is the family name for the Marquis de la Eirron) and the surname of the extinct family of the Dukes of Buckingham and Chandos was the quintuple-barrelled Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenville. Captain Leone Sextus Denys Oswolf Fraudatifilius Tollemache-Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache is sometimes quoted as the man with the most ever "barrels" in his surname (six), but in fact all but the last two of these (Tollemache-Tollemache) were forenames.

My fucking god what pretentious shitheads with names like this.

Doesn't matter if it's women or a guy... when I am introduced to someone and they stumble through their full name, it makes me feel like their partner talked them into it or they have this lofty pretense of importance. I do have a problem with latino women who marry white guys but insist on hyphenated or double surnames so they can stay ethnic.
