Women changing their surnames to their husbands'
Dangit, stop doing this. At the very least, you're making it difficult for me to figure out who you are on Facebook. And at worst, one could argue that it contributes to the inequality of genders.
I apologize for the gender-specificity of this thread, but this is practiced almost exclusively by women when they get married. Very few married men (at least in today's United States) will change their surname to match their wife's.

I'd probably change mine to the wife's.
Nobody who sends me mail can fucking spell my last name right.
When it comes to it, I think that I'd suggest the wife to hyphenate ours.
I'd suggest fusing our surnames together and changing both our names.
I'd force my wife to keep her own surname. Screw her opinion, equality's at stake here.
It's such a trivial thing.
^ What he said. Name-changing isn't really a big deal.
The Facebook issue can be solved just by including your maiden name. Instead of "Central User", list yourself as "Central Avenue User".
Speaking of which, I like the idea of taking Anonus's last name, but I don't know if he would want me to do it.
Clearly, surnames have no place in the civilized world. In fact, parents should just never name their kids.
I have no idea where I'm going with this.
When I was like 17, I decided that the fact that someone else gets to name you is oppressive and unjust and that society should allow everyone to choose their own names.
The fact that I only had a male name at the time didn't play into this at all, of course.

My surname kind of sounds hilarious already, probably doubly so on the suffix of another surname.

My girlfriend plans on hyphenating. I feel so bad for any potential kids, as the double-barreled surname will be a handful for teachers.
What happens when you have a kid with a hyphenated surname, who then marries someone else with a hyphenated surname, and they both want to keep their names?
Other than this I mean.
Presumably they just take the various combinations of the two.
They combine them into a four-barelled surname and get to pretend they're nobility.
