[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For perspective, I kept my last name because DH's last name is too long, and I come culturally from a matriarchal system, where women don't take their husband's names anyway. DH kept his last name, and we gave DD a culturally appropriate and short last name, totally separate from our own. So, in our household, we have 3 people with 3 last names. DD's teachers usually address us by her last name. People that know him through me address DH by my last name (and the vet, because the dog is under my name), and people that know me through him, address me by his last name. We don't bother correcting anyone; it's a circus of our making.[/quote] PP- We did this too![/quote]
