I have know ladies to have one name (maiden) professional and her married name socially. (on a side note: some companies don't want to go through the trouble of changing email addresses, business cards, etc) I don't thik that is a disrespect to the husband. The lady will still be bringing home her share the bacon.Uneeknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1860959085598847947.post-40368894768063299572012-01-18T14:49:34.641-08:002012-01-18T14:49:34.641-08:00Also, I know two couples who created entirely new ...Also, I know two couples who created entirely new names out of their two last names rather than the wife just taking the husband's name.

At the end of the day, I knew we planned to have kids and I did want us all to be "one big family" so I added his last name to mine, with the caveat that any children we had would carry my last name as a middle name. He was happy with that compromise.SingLikeSassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075372212124203113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1860959085598847947.post-75008690160634404922012-01-17T22:41:58.752-08:002012-01-17T22:41:58.752-08:00My current last name will become my middle name an...My current last name will become my middle name and my husband's last name will be my new last name. I have no problem with this at all. I'm sure whoever my husband will be won't have a problem with this either.
