OP While scanning the weddings page of the local paper on Sunday, I once again contemplated the problem posed by hyphenated surnames. This first generation of hyphenates has enough of a problem, but if they carry on the practice, their poor grandchildren won't be able to fit their names on a page. One solution would be to combine the surnames of couples into a third name to be used by the whole family.
This suggested a game to me. Our paper, for example, announced the engagement of Susan Carman and Benjamin Davenport. Clearly, they and their children should henceforth be the Carports. Here are the other combinations from the paper. What other good combinations are there?
Dickeson-Kohuth
Brouwer-Grohman
Sebrell-Smith
Emery-Carpenter
O'Dell-Johnson
Dickinson-Christie
Monsma-Coens
Abramson-Marl
Uchida-Sharkey
Cornell-Saragoza
Boucher-Jehnsen

Endres-Graves
Smith-Robel

Bishop-Wise
Galvin-Shoemaker
Klingbeil-O'Bryant
Chesnut-Weiss
Kraklau-Curtis
Pena-Cole
