Why? After a few generations we'd have people with last names that take three hours to say.
Example:
John Doe marries Jane Eyre
Jane Eyre becomes Jane Eyre-Doe
John Doe and Jane Eyre-Doe have a daughter; they name her Sally Eyre-Doe
Billy Graham marries Susan Sontag
Susan Sontag becomes Susan Sontag-Graham
Billy Graham and Susan Sontag-Graham have a son; they name him Jimmy Sontag-Graham
Sally Eyre-Doe meets Jimmy Sontag-Graham; they fall in love and get married.
Sally Eyre-Doe becomes Sally Eyre-Doe-Sontag-Graham
Jimmy Sontag-Graham and Sally Eyre-Doe-Sontag-Graham have a son; they name him Tucker Eyre-Doe-Sontag-Graham
meanwhile...
Hillary Clinton marries Rush Limbaugh
Hillary Clinton becomes Hillary Clinton-Limbaugh
Rush Limbaugh and Hillary Clinton-Limbaugh have a son; they name him Forrest Clinton-Limbaugh
Jacob Marley marries Ellen DeGeneres
Ellen DeGeneres becomes Ellen DeGeneres-Marley
Jacob Marley and Ellen DeGeneres-Marley have a daughter; they name her Ann DeGeneres-Marley
Forrest Clinton-Limbaugh meets Ann DeGeneres-Marley; they fall in love and get married
Ann DeGeneres-Marley becomers Ann DeGeneres-Marley-Clinton- Limbaugh
Forrest Clinton-Limbaugh and Ann DeGeneres-Marley-Clinton- Limbaugh have a daughter; they name her Zoey DeGeneres- Marley-Clinton-Limbaugh
then...
Tucker Eyre-Doe-Sontag-Graham meets Zoey DeGeneres-Marley- Clinton-Limbaugh; they fall in love and get married
Zoey DeGeneres-Marley-Clinton-Limbaugh becomes Zoey DeGeneres-Marley-Clinton-Limbaugh-Eyre-Doe-Sontag-Graham
And this isn't even including middle names.
Why did I just waste ten minutes writing this?
