What happens when two people with hyphenated last names get married? Do they hyphenate all four names and in what order? (lemmy.world)

I mainly ask, because when I worked in an armory there was a dude named 'GonzalezLamas-Suarez' whose name I had to handwrite on a very small line every single time I signed him out gear. It was the smallest font I'd ever seen on a uniform before.

Then you have those weird ones like "de Jesus" where it just doesn't make sense to be to have a preposition as part of your last name.

Same for my brother ha. His superiors actually just shorten it to one word when talking to him if it isn't super official.
