yeah, but she’s a “hyphenator”...

funny, that.

Neither one of those is “her” name.
One is her father’s and the other her husband’s.

Unless you know for sure, that's not necessarily correct.

A few years ago I dated a woman with a hyphenated last name. She took her step-father's last name after her widowed mother remarried and he adopted her. Her mother wanted her to keep her original last name, and thus it stuck.

I actually avoided her for over a year before I found out that she not only wasn't married but was a conservative as well. I'd just assumed she was a militant feminist married to an emasculated weakling of a man. Turns out she was one of the greatest women I'd ever loved. The relationship didn't last because she traveled around the world, and we seldom saw each other.

That's an odd statement. So, by your definition, no women actually have last names?

I don't understand why the fact that she is proud of the name she was born with as well as the one she married offends you.
