sweetowen: When I was married, I took my ex's last name. And being that it was 12 letters long, I chose not to hyphenate it. But when I got divorced, I took my maiden name back. If I ever get married again, I'll either keep my maiden name or hyphenate it. I paid to get my rightful name back... not totally giving it up again!
There was a doctor in the town I used to live in who upon marrying his wife, they BOTH hyphenated their names! How cool is that??

Wow what a sign of mutual respect! I like this. Really like this idea. As for me, I took my Husband's name and retained it when we divorced. I am not sure what I would do if I ever remarried, take my new husband's name or go back to my maiden( Hyphenated) new husband's name.
Now, that the third option has been presented, I really am leaning to this...Thanks for the idea Sweet!..

Sparky55: I've been married and I would rather any future spouse retain her own last name. Hyphenated would be a good second choice but I think it's a big pain in the butt for men and women to go about changing all their identity to reflect a new last name i.e. license, credit cards, etc..
Which is why I retained my married name.

After my last divorce , I took back the father of my children's name before him.
It was less confusing for the school, they still called me by what my childrens last name was.
But I would except my next husbands last name, I feel it to be a show of respect of him.

BarrenPneuma: My last name is a testament to a man I have never seen in any way as a father or a man worthy of having his name continue through my life. I would gladly take the woman I Love's name as it has not lost any semblance of what should be recognized as a surname of honour and pride. I guess it would depend on the situation but I would never force my last name upon anyone willing or unwilling. If they chose to forgo their own I would likewise not object and in doing so perhaps regain some semblance of meaning for a word that to me has lost all meaning.
In some Alaskan and American Indian Tribes, the Man takes the Woman's name when they marry.

Out of respect for my late husband I used his last name when married and still do.

I'm not sure about this one, On one hand you have a respect issue for the husband and on the other a identity issue for some woman.

It is a lot of hassle to have to get everything changed.But the Identity thing isn't a problem for most I believe unless she is getting married often and no one can remember what name the person is going by.

In a marriage without a Biblical belief......it doesn't make a dittlely squat.
otherwise! The two shall be one flesh. In body, spirit and mind. Then there sould be also one name. The last name then is a sign of oneness, family....the children have no confusion of belonging, being of, and love. Two flesh living each is never a union. When a couple have different names, seperate funds, seperate lives...it is only a marrige of convenance truly. It is confusion!!!!

I like the idea of combining surnames - in this day and age why should the woman have all the inconvenience of changing the name on her bank accounts, passport etc?
I'd be proud to be known as Mr 'X-Y' the husband of Mrs 'Y-X'
(Why? because I'd love her and be delighted to have her name associated with mine)

My sis-in-law and her 5 husband all signed prenup agreements and are all marriages of convenance. She never used either of their last names but used her maiden name. All their bank accounts were in seperate names.
