Believe it or not, sexism!

They usually place the man's name first and then only pass on those names.

We just made up portmanteau names for our kids, based on what sounded good. Over time, this should improve the overall coolness of last names.

So if you portmanteau four hyphenated names you'd have quite an awesome mouthful.

Example based on some names I've encountered...

Garcia + Roothopper + Nishigawa + Smith = Garhopgawaith? Nishciasmithopper? Smootgawacia?

Sounds like something out of the Swedish dub of Guardians of the Galaxy
