[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you think about hyphenated last names for kids? (I know “you-do-you” blah blah but want to know what others think). When you see a child with a name like Mary Smith-Jones, daughter of Mom Smith and Dad Jones, what assumptions do you make?[/quote] That they are educated liberals but that it must suck for them to write the extra letters on a million forms for their kids. Frankly, as someone with feminist tendencies, I romanticized it at one point pre-marriage, thinking it was so egalitarian. Then I married an egalitarian but traditional guy and took his last name. I now think hyphenated names are simply an ideal but impractical.[/quote]
