Is it cold in here?:
Strip 1010 had him being called "John Ellicott Chatham", no hyphen. Confusing.

Hyphenations are usually Female name - Male name, at least in this patriarchal society. So I guess the ultra wealthy just need to be different...

Well, her mom is certainly the more aggressive and dominant of them, from Hanners' stories.

Faye: Are you sure it was a good idea to tell her you're a doctor?
Angus: Can you think of a better way to get her to let me pull that out of there?
Hannelore: Is it going further in? It feels like it's going further in! Someone get it out please! I knew I never should have sat down on that chair, I'm never sitting down on a chair again, GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
It's a tack stuck in her thigh, calm down.

Unless Ms. Chatham was specifically making the point that she did take her husband's name and doesn't hyphenate. But that doesn't really fit with her character. Or maybe Jeph forgot?
