For the curious, in Latinx culture children take *both* their parents‘ names. It’s not a “progressive, new thing.” It’s just how some names work. PR hyphenates, others mark differently. Your last name = the families that came together to make you. AOC is also fine though :) — PolitiTweet.org

My last name is Ocasio-Cortez. Full stop. That’s my name. No, you can’t say “Cortez.” I’ve never used that in my life. “Cortez” is referring to someone else. Even if they‘re trying to be rude + wrong, my dad’s last name was Ocasio anyway. (His name was hyphenated too, though.) — PolitiTweet.org

@kraigschmidt Everyone’s last names are hyphenated - so you children take the first names of each of their parents. ex: my dad was Ocasio-ABC, my mom’s was Cortez-XYZ So I am Ocasio-Cortez (When they married, my mom became Ocasio-Cortez too - wives keep father’s name + take husband’s too) — PolitiTweet.org
