Just curious, according to AOC, it is common practice among Latinos to combine the last names of both parents with a hyphen ie Ocasio-Cortez.
Is this really true?
What happens in the next generation? Will you have four names hyphennated?
It just seem odd...
It is not a "latina thing" and it is not a combination (with hyphen) thing. In most of Latin America (and Spain) we use both paternal and maternal surnames.
The next generation is the same as the previous.
So how does it work?
What will AOC’s future kids’s name be if she is married to another Latino?
Her kids will be called the following - “given name” Ocasio-Cortez-“Husband’s Last name”?
If "your parents" are Mr. Lee and Mrs. Ocasio Cortez, "your name" is Jack Lee Ocasio. You only pass the paternal one to your children, so the child of Jack Lee Ocasio and María Perez García is Ana Lee Pérez.
Same if "your parents" are Mr. López Rivera and Mrs. Ocasio Cortez, "your name" is Jack López Ocasio. Jack López Ocasio and María Perez García = Ana López Pérez.
Thank you for that explanation! I've never understood how that worked.
