I was musing today about the current fashion for people in relationships to hyphenate their surnames. What happens when/if they have children? It might be a bit unwieldy for the class register:
Leone Sextus Denys Oswolf Fraudatifilius Tollemache-Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache (/ˈtuːlmeɪk ˈtɒlmæk/ tool-mayk-tol-mak; 10 June 1884 – 20 February 1917) was a captain in the British Army who died during the First World War.[1] He has been stated to have had the longest English surname on record,[2] or the English surname with the most multiple barrels.[3] (Wikipedia)

Hopefully common sense will prevail!
You can name your child by any surname. You don't have to give it the parents name.
Perhaps they'll go for the acronym.
Or maybe the victim will go for a name change when old enough.
