I don’t think it’s what you think. Most married women on FB use both their maiden name and their married name so they’ll show up when someone searches for them, be they high school friends or “new” post-marriage friends.
Though there are many more hyphenated last names in general these days. And yes, those women do indeed suck.

Ahhh quality analysis.
But yeah otherwise dealbreaker! It sends a message which isn’t so great I think.
Actually we had a contractor in the office who had a triple hyphenated name. How does that even happen? She was totally nuts, even more so than our other contractors, and more so than our F/T employees with double hyphenated names.
Isn’t taking the husband’s last name a cultural thing anyway? I don’t think women in Latin American countries take the husband’s last name and the kids actually get both last names.
I think Latin America the wife hyphenates, but the kids get the father’s name.
In Bolivia, kids get both last names with father’s last name first and mother’s last name second but refer to themselves in informal conversation with just the father’s last name.
My wife took my last name and is the only one in her group of Hispanic friends who did so.
Yes, in Latin America, kids generally get both dad’s and mom’s name, which I always thought was cool. Presumably this comes from a time when it was widely recognized that men might have children from several women (and possibly the reverse as well) and so you wanted to distinguish people’s lineage by both father and mother.
What’s interesting is that in Spanish and Portuguese the order of the names is reversed. I forget exactly which one is which, but I believe that in Spanish-speaking Latin America the father’s name comes first and then the mother’s, while in Portuguese speaking Latin America (and elsewhere in the lusophonic world) the mother’s name comes first, then the father’s.
I don’t fully remember how married names work. I believe that women keep their maiden name but add the husband’s at the end, a bit the same way that maiden names had traditionally been turned into middle names in the English speaking world; it’s just that these middle names actually get used a lot more rather than simply forgotten the way they are here. I believe the maiden name that applies is the father’s name (one needs to get cut out to prevent names from growing exponentially with each generation, and traditionally, the father’s name told you more about one’s wealth and status during times when it was considered cool to deny women property and power and such, so I guess people decided to stick with the father’s name).
You want a quote? Haven’t I written enough already???
LA is pretty big so it varies from country to country, but children usually get both of their parents’ last names (dad first, mom second).
Regarding women picking up their husband’s name, in Nicaragua at least, they take it a step further and add “de” as in “of” before the husband’s last name. So if Juana Lopez marries Juan Perez, it would be customary for Juana to change her name to Juana de Perez. It’s definitely less prevalent than it was back in the day but still pretty common.
My wife did not change her name at all. I did not have a strong preference either way. ”Feminism” was probably part of it. The other reason that she said was that my last name is very short and generic. Her last name is very long and complicated. So, I guess she did not want to lose her “brand name”, which would be useful in career, etc. I actually agree with this reasoning…
I actually wish my wife had not changed her name because it has caused a ton of headaches. As previously noted, her legal maiden name was actually two last names, but practically speaking she only used her father’s last name. As a result, she had some documents with both last names and some with just her father’s last name. To make things worse, she has always gone by her middle name instead of her first name, so some documents had her middle name and her father’s last name, but not her first name and her mother’s last name.
Dude I was on Facebook this morning and all the USA chicks have hyphenated last names.
Is this a feminist thing? You guys are okay with that?
Why do you care? It has nothing to do with you.
Wait a sec, just to clarify, is this the school of thought popular in the West that goes something like ”women can do whatever they want without consulting the man such as have an abortion, plastic surgury, a name change, or a divorce, and the guy has no say”? Cause actually I say it does have something to do with me.

Well since you’re not married to or in a relationship with these women what this really is is a case of ‘giving a f*ck when its not your turn to give a f*ck.’
Hmm. There’s nothing wrong about having an opinion about disassociated people. Most people in the US don’t know any women in Burkina Faso, but they would have an opinion about say… forced female circumcision. Should we go around saying that it’s none of their business?

I would, who are we to judge other cultural practices from our ethnocentric points of view? Besides we have enough of our own problems to contend with before we judge others.
I really don’t worry about things that either a) don’t effect me b) I have no control over. Both forced female circumscision in the third world and the decline of patriachry in the western world fall into those categories. I am secure in myself and I really don’t give a flying f if a woman decides she doesn’t want to take someone else’s last name.
A lot of incidents of Genocide also have no direct relationship to you.
So you’re cool with that too, then?
Nice equivalency, some geek mourning the precieved loss of male privledge isn’t quite the same as mass murder.
If you want an honest answer, I can tell you that other then thinking its a sad tradegy I wouldn’t give it too much thought. The world is a brutal, unforgiving place full of suffering. I accept that fact and pick my battles as to the things I invest energy into and the things that I don’t. Worrying/having an opinion about most things just leads to needless suffering.

Hyphenated last name is a dealbreaker for me.
I used to smoke pot and go to class.
Sneak in ten minutes late with a bullsh*t excuse.
Slink down low at my desk.
Pray to god nobody asked me any questions.
I was the best teacher ever.

would you guys consider hypening your own names like….CFAvsMBA-Kardashian or Bchad-Kardashian
If you are considering whether or not to hyphenate your name, you should watch “Hot Tub Time Machine”, which basically answers this question.
“I’m a CPA! I got money b***h!”

You can fondle the cube, but it will not respond.

I know this girl from college, when she got married, both she and her husband hyphenated their names. Don’t know wtf that’s about.
I wouldn’t want my wife to hyphenate. At all. It think it’s stupid and confusing.
why get married period?

in China, the baby boy keeps the last name and the baby girl is thrown in the garbage …

It is a choice the woman gets to make and if you don’t like it talk her out of it.

That does not mean that it is wrong to have an opinion.

I never said it was wrong to have an opinion, its just a waste of time and energy.
How about having an opinion about other people having opinions?
