Does anyone have two surnames?
I have noticed that there are plenty of people with two or three middle names, but I have seen very few people that actually have two surnames, so I wanted to know if anyone knew of someone that did. Thanks.

reason; many women of our time wanted to retain their family name as well
reason; on many older birth papers, both parents in some locals used their names added to the childs name
reason; it was customary in some native cultures to say ones name as son of / and /, thus stating two surnames where no written records were kept
