I wonder about software engineers that concat their names this way.    What happens after a few generations of this?



Given an infinite number of generations, you have an infinitely long name.  No good at all.

A few more decades, and you'll be getting business cards with the name 'Mr. Stack Overflow".

I can only hope that my kids have more sense than we did.  If I could do it all over again, I would have rather just changed my last name to match my wife's;  you have no idea how many computers break on the hyphen!

Incidentally, here's an image of the receipt for my 'name-change' back in 1998:

Notice the other items on the receipt.  :-)
