OK So now I am seeing a trend where newlywed couples are taking each other's names. One of my client's I met before I called her by her maiden name lets say it was Jennifer Jackson... It is now Jennifer Jackson-Madison. She then tells me her husband is ALSO taking the name Jackson-Madison. So he is now Jeffrey Jackson-Madison. Hmmm OK. She saw I was a little confused about it and she says "We are not living in the 50's anymore. Women dont have to take their husband's name. Our children will also have the 'Jackson-Madison' name" Personally, I really dont give a crap, but here is where I have a question...
Jeffrey and Jennifer's kids grow up... lets say his name is Johnny Jackson-Madison and he meets Sally Smith-Jones and they get married. Are their names going to be Johnny Jackson-Madison-Smith-Jones and Sally Jackson-Madison-Smith-Jones? Family trees are going to be really confusing. Or was this not really thought out? |

They want to follow the Hispanic way but don't understand how it actually goes.

I think it just may be that people want to sound important through a name or series of names or something like that.

I work in education and see many different combinations of parents' and kids' names. It can be mind boggling. To kinda answer your question, I recently came across a parent who had a hyphenated last name, divorced, and then got remarried to someone with one of the same last names. So now she is a "Jackson-Jackson." The stepdad is adopting the kid so I'm curious if they're going to change the kid's name to some weird Jackson-Jackson-Jackson.

Hispanics seem to have figured out compound family names. Hopefully your friend and her offspring can come up with something that works for them.

You answered your own question. Like most progressive things, everyone is focused on how it makes people feel vs the harsh reality of unintended consequences. Stay tuned for Sally Smith-Jones-Anderson-Murphy-Jackson-Wang. |

Red flags are everywhere. Your job is to recognize them and then take appropriate action.
Example. Don’t marry a woman who wants a hyphenated last name. The desire of hyphenating the name is only the red flag of the shit that will eventually follow. |

No hyphenated names in our family,
but I had my first wife make her maiden name her middle name, while she took my last name. She was a lawful immigrant, and I thought her making the last name her middle name might counteract some of the stupidity of the (then) I.N.S. I also had my first two children take wife #1's maiden name as their middle names, just in case I died. Again, I.N.S. incompetence. I won't take any woman's name as part of mine. |

Guys who take their wives names are cucks.
My wife hyphenated her name because both of her parents died the same year and she wanted to keep their name alive. I didn't agree with it but respected her decision and understood why she did it. Our daughter has my last name only. |

Asians do similar, like they basically adopt the son in law he takes over the family business with the wife and he changes family names. They do it because the don't have a clear successor and want to keep the company family, and that's how they do it.

Our society is not all lost.
My daughter's fiancee actually wanted to take our last name as he has no love for his own last name (adopted and rough childhood). It's a PITA to get a change prior to wedding as he decided to switch to his grandfathrs sir name. They will just use his current sir name. A young lady I work with was asked if she planned to hyphenate her last name with her upcoming marriage (this friday). She emphatically stated Hell No. Her maiden name is Brown, his sir name is Carr. She said she is not a brown car. |
