Legal, but pretentious.

"Legal, but pretentious." is the best answer so far. Awkward, too; most computer forms have just 24 characters for surname, so some of it will be chopped off, unless the three are short. You made me curious - what about the fourth grandparent? Are you shunning him/her, or do two of your grandparents share the same surname?

as long as it is your natural name or you get it legally changed
