53% which was a bit of a suprise, what with the house only having a name and the number of barbours I've got (actually they're damn fine coats and I bought them from the factory seconds shop in Sunderland.

23% for me, we keep carrier bags and one of Adele's friends combined her surnames when she married so is now double barrelled.
Title: Re: U or non-U

we know a family with the double barrelled surname Goddard-Cockaday.

Best marriage related name issue I know of was when Alan Meredith married Meredith Alan. Yes she is Meredith Meredith  ;D

The irony is they were two university students introduce because of the names. She loves to sometimes confuse people with the following:
"Hi, I'm Dr Meredith Meredith nee Alan, have you met my husband Alan..."
