There is nothing wrong with a woman taking the husband's last name after marriage. I detest hyphenated names.

NEWLYWEDS in America are “meshing” their names in an attempt to banish the sexism that comes when a woman takes her husband’s surname. Yeah, she gives up one man's name for another.

One name-meshing pioneer is Antonio Villaraigosa, the mayor of Los Angeles, who combined his name of Villar with his wife’s name of Raigosa in 1988. "How very . . . metrosexual.

It's no more stupid than the trend of people giving their children a last name for a first name.

And future generations of genealogists will curse them for this.
What happened to men being proud of the name their father gave them and women being proud to take the name of their beloved husband?

Remove the "N" in both names.Both apply.

Danielle Crittenden writes beautifully about women and names: If she keeps her maiden name, she will indeed set herself apart from being Mrs. His Wife, but she will also set herself apart from her own children.
Her example: With every new introduction, "This is Mr. Serbia, Junior Serbia, Sally Serbia, and, oh yes, over here is Mrs. Bosnia Herzegovena."
This combining "solution" sets both husband and wife apart from their ancestry and their children, if their children follow their example and come up with new combinations

Why can't they just call it hell, like the rest of us.

Everytime you see a hyphenated name, you can bet with 1000% accuracy it is Clinton supporter. It never fails. Why? Because liberals have 1000 times the arrogance and ego of normal people.
