Yes, the same goes for dad. He is Larla's dad. Kids will call him Mr. Smith-Jones if that's Larla's lastname. Most kids assume that families have the same last name unless there's a divorce/remarriage. [/quote]

Kids whose parents have different last names don't.

You're not arguing, are you, that John Jones should change his last name to Smith-Jones because elementary-school classmates of Larla Smith-Jones will assume that his last name is Smith-Jones? Let alone that John Jones's failure to change his last name to Smith-Jones demonstrates that he's going to great lengths to distinguish himself from his daughter? (Probably everybody is pretty clear on the idea that John Jones and Larla Smith-Jones are different people.)[/quote]

I'm not arguing that at all.

Suzy Smith and John Jones can keep their names. But if they have kids and hyphenate their lastname, then why not hyphenate the flipping address labels???

Suzy's lastname is Smith. We get it.

John's lastname is Jones. Rock on!

But their family last name is Smith-Jones. If it's good enough for the kids and the school directory, then why not for the holiday card return address labels? [/quote]
