In France, in 2004, a law was made to permit joining 2 family names together when parents want their child to have both last names, joined by not one, but two hyphens "--". This lasted about 5 years before it was reversed. I met someone who had this in her last name and thought she was yanking my chain. I'm so sorry my country did this. Here is something in French that mentions the law, I couldn't easily find the original law online: https://www.senat.fr/questions/base/2011/qSEQ110418181.html https://www.senat.fr/questions/base/2011/qSEQ110418181.html Now that I think about it, it's entirely possible that it caused some issues with SQL.
