I will remind older members, and point out to newer ones (though I actually say it in the rules which you've all read, right?) that I see the use of portmanteau terms like these as dehumanising, and thus an indication that shipping is getting out of hand and heading for the forbidden zone. As a quick indication of their desirability, how many of your friends do you refer to in this way?

An interesting thought. Has anyone ever adopted a romantic partner's name as part of their own?

ReindeerFlotilla:
A former friend has a collection of names. She's only been Married twice, so I'm not sure where one of them came from. Whenever her legal last name changed, she moved the old last name into her middle name.
When she got married the second time, she was uncertain whether she should change her name, or if he should change his. She, eventually, settled on the standard, but as a compromise, he offered to append her last name to his middle name.
Well, it turns out that, for unknown reasons, the clerk in San Diego county said, you can't do that. If you make a name change due to marriage, you can't take part of a name. You have to take all of it.
I don't know if this is actually the law, or if the clerk was high, but the clerk did not yield. The husband kept his promise though. So his middle name is, among other things, Anne.
pwhodges:
It's easier in the UK: your name as an adult is simply what you say it is. Having an official document (deed poll) to back it up is helpful for some purposes, and free. (There are extra steps to be taken in the case of children, as one might expect.)

I know a couple whose last names were Green and Wolfe, and when they married they both changed their last name to Greenwolfe.
Thrillho:
Well sure, because that surname is fucking badass.
