Was she Alexandra Hall and she married Mr Hall but refused to take his name and ended up like this!
Weird!

Almost as bad as Gary Neville's father who is called Neville Neville.

Ollie Locke from Made in Chelsea has married someone also called Locke and they are now the Locke-Lockes!

I know of someone with the surname Pitt-Pitts

No idea how it came about though

Who's there?

according to Wikipedia she is married to someone called Daniel Twining

So yes she didn't take her husbands name

Silly

So yes she didn't take her husbands name

But did one of her ancestors? I always think it especially unfair when a woman is expected to give up her own (single) maiden name on marriage and exchange it for her new husband's double-barrelled name - which was likely originally adopted to preserve two lines of his family.

Not the same thing at all, but it just makes me think of Lord Haw Haw and Boutros Boutros-Ghali

Ah that's nice of them to keep the family history going.

All she has to do is not change her name, if she feels it unfair. (Which it is).

My Dc have hyphenated surnames. I would never ‘expect’ them to do anything other than what suits them / they prefer.

'Hall Hall!' would be easier to say when answering the phone than the originally-proposed 'Ahoy Ahoy!'.

Now I'm just waiting for some multi-millionaire who likes buying up lots of random public meeting centres to proudly promote their 'hall haul' on TikTok....

Oh, yes, I know she can do what she wants and shouldn't be pressured or expected to do anything - doesn't mean that doesn't happen a lot, though.

An explanation by her cousin Andy Hall Hall. It was from error in an ancestor's birth certificate entry!

A birth certificate error in the 1800s christened Alexander, "Alexander Hall" (first name) "Hall" (surname). Clearly amused, they decided to keep the double Hall for all the males, which then later changed into the surname "Hall Hall" for both sexes. Basically... a typo

Still silly though.

My grandparents had the same surname - they didn't repeat it, just both kept their own name (or maybe they took each others)
