[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I offered to change my name if DH changed his.  We could create a new last name or both use hyphenated last name.  He chose to keep his name and I chose to keep mine.  When we had kids, I gave him another choice.  The kids could have my last name or we could hyphenate.  He chose to hyphenate.  That was 15 years ago.  We've never had complications, confusion or hassles because of it.

When the kids are adults, I'll respect their choice of name to use.  My cousins had hyphenated names growing up.  One kid still uses they hypenated name, one chose his mother's name, another chose her father's.[/quote]

How awful[/quote]

Why is this so awful?
Do you have an assurance as to what your kids will do if and when they get married? They may-- *gasp* -- decide to hyphenate their name with their spouse's.  
I always think these doomsday scenarios for hyphenated kids names are strange. as if any of us knows what our kids will do if and when they get married and have kids. [/quote]
