[b]Double barrel names aren’t common outside of certain cultures and they can be a burden.   [/b]

This is a good chance to use communication skills that will serve you both well in marriage.  Good luck![/quote]

Long live the patriarchy, right?[/quote]

Exactly. People make it sound like it's hard. I'm very disappointed that men don't take a hyphenated name. The expectation that women must bear this burden is absurd. [/quote]

The hyphen names do not work for the future.  Smith-Thomas marries Brown-Jones. What do they do with their kids?  Doing a hyphen names is selfish. [/quote]

I have a hyphenated name and I'm giving my child a hyphenated name. A couple where both are hyphenated can choose a single last name or choose one part of their lastnames each and combine them. Selfish is the expectation that only one partner gets to slap their name on both kids and wife.
