“Binomial” means having a double name. “Hyphenated” means adding one last name to another by using a hyphen. Sometimes done in marriage, or in giving a child both parents’ last names. Some people refer to their first name, middle name (which may or may not be used), and last name (which may or may not be hyphenated).
Q. How do you address someone with two last names?
The same way you address someone with one last name: you use the last name, whether it is one name or two names or hyphenated. For example, if the person’s name is Powlett Jones, you address him as Mr. (or if female, Mrs. or Miss or Ms, depending upon her status) Powlett Jones.

Q. What does it mean when someone has 2 last names?
A hyphenated last name is when you and your spouse combine both of your last names with a hyphen. This is also called a double surname. In many states, when you fill out your application for your marriage license, you’ll be writing your intended married name on that application.
Q. Do middle names matter on legal documents?
But many other legal sources say a full legal name includes middle name. In general, it’s probably best to include your middle name if the form asks for full legal name. However, as long as first and last name match up, then there isn’t usually a problem.
Q. What happens if you have two middle names?
Having two middle names allows both parents to include an homage to someone special in their family and carry on a family name. Having two middle names means you can give the child the name you agreed on but still have a piece of both families in there as well.
Q. Can you legally have 4 names?
There is no limit to how many names you have or the length of them. When it comes to legal documents other than your Birth Certificate or SS Card, ppl tend to only put one middle name, and initials for the rest. That also depends on the length of the names.
Q. Can you name your kid a curse word?
The names chosen should not be the reason for embarrassment for the kids in future, neither there should be any offensive or swear word in the names. That’s one of their laws. That alone means you are not allowed to name your child a swear word.
Q. Why can’t you name your child Nutella?
Also in France, a court ruled that a baby girl could not be named Fraise, which means “strawberry.” (Strawberries go well with Nutella – is this a conspiracy?) They said it could be construed as the slang word for a**. Also in Sweden, parents had to go to court for the rights to use the names Metallica, Lego and Elvis.
