It's just as well I haven't yet changed my name on my passport otherwise our son would have the surname: Pedrazas-Pedrazas. As if Pedrazas-Ball wasn't bad enough. There's no way around this. Children born here are automatically given the first surname of each parent.
Having such a mouthful for a surname may explain why it is uncommon here for people to have middle names, but we haven't ruled it out.
As for names - watch this space. We've been asked by a Spanish aunt what the name will be so that she can embroider the name on a blanket. Once again I am met with incredulous looks as I say that it's impossible to decide on the name until he's born. Viva las diferencias.
