[quote=Anonymous]Here's a strange trend I've seen: I know several couples where the man takes his wife's maiden name as his middle name, and the wife changes her last name to the husband's. So both husband and wife have the same middle and last names. Both husbands I know make a big deal out of it, like it shows how progressive they are. Personally, it seems totally stupid to me. First, they went through all the paperwork just to change their middle name. Second, who uses their middle name on anything? It's just a lot of symbolism but the wife still changed her last name, which is what counts. Personally, if I were going to use my husband's last name I would do what one of my relatives did: she uses her husband's name socially (i.e. christmas cards, school, etc) but legally and professionally, she kept her name. So no paperwork, everything is still in her birth name. But she goes by her husband's name outside of the office. [/quote]
