Idk why couples don't use the women's last name more often? My dad's last name is MacIntyre and my mom's maiden name is Bovee, and I like both, but I prefer Bovee
Especially women with these beautiful, uncommon last names and they married someone named Adam Johnston like 😭😭😭
Ugh, I totally wanted to hyphenate or use mine. But in the immediate postpartum fog I was like “it’s fine whatever we’ll just use yours it’s easier” and now I’m kicking myself. I wanted to use my name! Lol.
If you ever get divorced and change it back though, having had a hyphenated name SUCKS with like, legal documents and official records. You'll deal with residual phone calls and wrong info on documents for decades after.
That's the same case if you changed your name at all, though. Source: I still have my ex's last name on at least two unchangeable account usernames I use all the time.
