Many married women choose to hyphenate their married name and maiden name. But there are times when you just shouldn't!!

Traylor - Hooker

SO this woman I know named Susan Best probably shouldn’t hyphenate her name when she marries Richard Lay.

I often go into a bit of “seasonal depression” around July.

That’s when Jay Leno has finally finished the yearly run of double-entendre
marriage/wedding announcements (most from May + July) on his
“Headlines” segment on Mondays.

As I get older and my bones get more fragile...someday I’ll break
a rib or two laughing at some those announcements.

I used to hire a lot of professional people, mostly engineers.

When I saw a hyphenated name on a resume, I tossed it aside. I needed serious people.

So if Doty Goodman married Truman Capote
she’d be Doty Capote?

[Daffynition]

And for heaven sakes don’t name the kid Mai Best-Lay.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I agree, blam. I do the same. It’s pretentious to say the very least and pretentious women are always trouble down the road, LOL!

Take your husband’s name, Girl! You’re marrying into HIS family; becoming part of HIS ‘tribe.’

[Daffynition]

And I also know they better not tell you about any tats or piercings! ;-D

[doc1019]

Wouldn’t that be Doty Goodman Capote?

Not really on the subject but my ex neighbor had the last name Dill. Their daughter had to work with a classmate and come up with an invention and name the company, etc. I don’t even remember what the invention was because I couldn’t get past what their daughter (Dill) and her classmate (Doe) called their company.

Did you attend the wedding?

[Daffynition]

That’s priceless!

If Ellen Barkin married Alan Arkin, would she be Ellen Arkin-Barkin or Barkin-Arkin?

[tet68]

You’re no fun.
I’m taking my Capote and going home.

[doc1019]

Sorry, just jerkin’ your chain. LOL!

[Viking2002]

I saw a wedding announcement that actually read 'Butt-Munch'. LMAO :-)

The real reason this hyphening fad is silly is that when little:

Jon Smith-Jones

marries little

Mary Johnson-Jackson

are they really going to name their offspring

Joe Johnson-Jackson-Smith-Jones?

I guess they must do something like this among the upper classes in Spain given some of the names they have strung together. I can not believe the US is going to go for the fad generation after generation but we shall see.

If Matthew Perry married Marsha Mason she would be Marsha Perry-Mason.

[Millee]

LOL!

If Yoko Ono had married the speed skater Apollo Ohono, divorced and married U2 rocker Bono and divorced again only to marry Sono Bono,

She'd be Yoko Ono Ohno Bono Bono.
