I agree with Erik on this.
I knew someone whose child had a hyphenated last name, and they didn't
give him a middle name because that would have been too much, in their
opinion.
What I'd like to see is if hyphenation or some variant of the Spanish
system let each person decide if they wanted to give their child their
mother's surname or father's surname, and just have a nice mix off of
that. :)
