I believe that's a little harsh for joint facbook couples (some i would agree with) ,but there is an ahhemm "man" at my work that has joint last name. YES, they combined them like HERS-HIS. WTF? I just can't understand that, this Pic helps though. Lol 🤣🤣

My last name is a combined name. Family legend says it is because of a marriage between families on different sides of the Civil War (the English one, 1642-1651). One family was Royalist and one Parliamentarian so they double-barrelled the surnames to keep both sides happy.

That seems like regular practice back then, like keeping wives in check in the 1940's, before feminism came along. I'm talking about a "guy" taking his wife's name in today's time. I just don't understand it, I never would atleast.

Funny there was a reddit post about this. A guy did it because he's hoping to slip out on his sketchy past with her name lol

I know someone who took his girlfriend's name when he passed his citizenship test so he could get on her health insurance without having married her. They later did get married, but it was fraud for almost 2 years.

I assumed the other hyphenated name was your husband.

I vote for pissing off both sides, because that's what it did to me when i typed it in my phone.
And now your entire line has had to hand-write that thing for almost 400 years. curse!
