One might think that Mary SHITTLE might have looked forward to getting a new surname on marriage.
However, according to a marriage bond I found, she married John CRAP.

That would make a great double-barrelled surname ;D
It would indeed, then the Shittle-Craps could live in Butthole Lane Nr. Doncaster, and if they were very fortunate their daughter might marry a PIDDLE.

My ancestors lived at Turner's Piddle in Dorset. Then I believe they moved up in the world to possibly the worst address in the country, at No2, Shitterton

It would make a jolly good expletive too!  I can just imagine using that when I stub my toe or some other stupid thing that hurts!!   Ouch,! ------ "ShittleCrap"

Or if I think someone is telling me a lie!   ;D ;D ;D

I've just been uptown to get my groceries on Harley!  When I was coming back, I had to pass a group older biker people that were gathered on the footpath outside a motor bike showroom.  Some lovely bikes there, including a Harley! They stood aside to let me through, and one guy asked me if I wanted a race!   ;D ;D ;D
