If people don't like their names or kids don't like their names, I know a lot of people that have changed their surname to their last name and used the first 'barrel' as a middle name.
It's not really a big deal, or selfish or anything like that. Some people like double barrel names some don't.

Indeed. I was confused at the time. It's alliteration, I do apologise most profusely
It's all these women who think their family name is just as important.
The only solution is to slap her about a bit and chain her to the stove.
All a load of crap, I'd never get married (because I think it's archaic, unneccassary and about 10 other shades of illogical, not to mention a complete waste of money), but if I did I probably wouldn't humour the idea of joining names. I'd probably just suggest we take on a different name, make it real hard to trace the family tree, that'll confuse future generations!

Awww you old romantic you! 
Maybe his dad was an analog design engineer.
There is a bit of a trend on at the moment to try and name your child, not a name which has any meaning to you, but something completely random.
And for the record, if your child has 2 first names I imagine you live in a high rise, smoke capstan unfiltered and subsist on a diet of cider and noodles, susidised by your children stealing scrap metal and trainers from tescos. I don't think it gets much more chavvy.

I have a double-barrelled surname. You jelly?
Actually, it's a pain in the rectum, because apparently very few people have ever heard of double-barrelled surnames, so they get all confused when I'm trying to make appointments or anything. They usually mis-spell one of the surnames or just write down the second one. There's also never enough space on the form to write out my entire name.

You missed the from.
No, it isn't a necessity. It's a custom stemming from social structures of the past, mainly from higher status families in which women didn't have to work. An unmarried woman was supported by her family. A married woman was supported by her husband's family. In essence, she changed families to a legally significant extent. So she changed her family name.
People can do whatever they like with their names as long as they're not a deliberate deception. So, for example, you can't take a title as a name because that would be deceiving people into thinking you had that title. Official recognition of offensive names would also be witheld (so you wouldn't be able to get such a name on state documents, e.g. driving licence).
I find it baffling that even in this age people can't remove themselves from social norms and whine about women wanting to have their names used, solely based on that it's what they perceive as the only way for it to be done correctly.
While I understand some men need to prove something all the time to reinforce their image, it's a bit sad.

Just another thing she wanted to take from you in the settlement, eh?

Yes, I agree with you wholeheartedly. To hell with social norms! Up should be down, black should be white, and pregnant women should be made to stand on the bus. MWhaahahahhahhahah! No one can stop us! We'll all be KINGS, KINGS I SAY!
On the other hand, my future wife can just take my surname or find herself a big sissy man who'll take her name. It's her choice.
