[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I kept my name because I am a feminist and it is ridiculous to expect me to change my name. Kids are hyphenated last names. DH didn’t want to, I insisted - they are my kids as well as his. I think the whole thing about hyphenated last names being “too long” is defensive - if you have a long last name like Richardson, you don’t think of it as burdensome. I’m not saying you should hyphenate, just that “too long” is not a reasonable excuse - just own that you don’t want to hyphenate.[/quote] You lack imagination. My husband and I both have four syllable last names that are much harder to spell/pronounce than "Richardson." Hyphenation would be absurd.[/quote]
