Double-barrelled surnames
Anyone got any strong thoughts on that in this day and age? Would you rather one partner took on your family name exclusively in marriage or is double-barrelled the way to go?

Whatever suits.
You can keep your maiden name when married, or double barrel it. Funny enough I was just wondering what my daughter would do if she ever gets married, she will keep her maiden name in her work either way I reckon. |
Just keep it the way it is as it works and don't dick around to make some futile point

Personal preference surely... why should it matter to anyone but the couple? Most married people I know have still "gone with tradition"... though I know one couple who double-barrelled (a gay couple, where it seems to be more common) and also I know two married couple where neither changed their name... they still have different surnames. One of the couples has children and they're double-barrelled.

Actually two of my best friends did neither, they just kept their own name as did their husbands, one has no kids and the other double barrelled her kids names
|
ex mrs LT still uses my surname but do women ever revert back when divorced if they have children?

I have three gay friends of who have each married and double-barrelled their surname. When I was growing up there were a couple of kids who had a double-barrelled surname because their parents weren't married.

doesn't the whole concept fall apart when you have generations all double barrelled .... i would never remember anyone's name
for example angela smythe-williamson marries rodney trottenham-spalling so Angela becomes Smyth-wliiamson-trottenham-spalling .... and then on to the kids getting married :shocked: |

I would stick with tradition and take my husbands surname. Xx

I use my own name professionally, but for everything else I'm happy to use my husband's name.
