re: Would you marry a woman who wants to hyphenate her last name with yours?

I would only do it, if she were famous, and had an established name that is branded. Outside of that, only my name, or no marriage.

I came from a culture that has no concept of family names. Hell, some people only go by one name (no last name). My sibling, father, and mother don't have the same last name; so I would have no issues.

That's not terrible. Some women make the man take her last name.

What is the backstory on this pic?

Have seen it used a lot lately on the OT

Doesn’t matter. She can do whatever she wants. It’s her name.

If her last name is notable enough to directly result in cash in my pocket or some other benefit, then maybe. Otherwise frick that hyphenated whore.

Agree
Plus what happens when the hyphenated names kids marry other hyphenated names kids and they want to hyphenate? Now we get 4 last names?

And it's not like you can say we are having dinner at the Browns house tonight or going out with the Smiths family.

Just marry the guy and take his name.

Mine did, but we got married in our 40s and she is very established in her field.

Same here. I don't GAF about. I know we're married, she knows we're married, don't care.

My wife legally kept her last name in front on mine. But it's not hyphenated and she only goes by mine.

Have to use it when filling taxes and shite though
