What do you find so ridiculous about the name? Seems perfectly normal to me.

I think it's cos I knew him when he was plain Phil Hallard and his missus-to-be was Bea Purser. I can't seem to help finding double-barrelling mildly odd in this day and age too, which might have something to do with it.

It seems to be getting commoner, though. I've got friends who are married and while the parents have kept their own surnames, the kids use both surnames (though in this case with the man's surname first). Teacher friends tell me it's not unusual nowadays.

Ditto.

Actually I don't think I've seen him since he was an undergraduate (how long ago was that!). Certainly haven't met the Mrs.
