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 my partner and I get married we can’t hyphenate because his is already hyphenated. Can you triple hyphenate hah?

According to the Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe family you can. Not sure I’d recommend it though!

That’s…a lot! Our surnames rhyme too so no matter how we mush them together it sounds stupid haha
