I'm glad that in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries the norm is having surnames from both sides of the family and no one whines about length. Add her surname, dummy.

In Britain you can tell ancient poo poo from people's names. Someone has the second name Fletcher? Guess what their ancestor probably did for a living, they put fletching on arrows! Someone called Bailey? Their great great great great grandfather most likely delivered stuff. Someone called Kyanka? Yup, that person's ancestors herded retards.

OP, you're a loving idiot and are overthinking this way too much.

I kept my last name wife kept her last name.

The children are probably hosed, but they can bloody well change their names when they turn 18.

Suck it society.

I always thought that was a Polish name. This isn't a diss, I just thought it sounded like one. It's British? Amazing.

IDK, they're pre-emptively hosed when they appear.

OP - double hyphenate your combined last name, and use that.

Anyway, the true point of this thread was to waste your time, so if you read this, then I accomplished my task. Take that, you shitlord.

I wanted to do that but it turns out to be a huge pain in the rear end. I recommend starting the process to change your name to this mishmash right loving now and then she can change hers to match after the wedding with absolutely no hassle

It's like 50 bucks and a form here, and then you get a court visit like 10 days later and then you're done.

On the contrary, names have powerful subconscious effects. It has been found that hearing or seeing your own name produces positive feedback, to such a degree that you are statistically more likely to like people, places and things sharing a first letter with your name. Also, your own name activates neural areas distinct from other's names. Consequently, having a shared family name rather than separate ones will likely change the way you perceive your partner or children on a subconscious level, either grouping them into your own self-regard and self-serving bias or considering them as an other.

As to hyphenated names, people respond more positively to easy to pronounce names. As such, they will probably judge a hyphenated name less positively even if they are progressive minded folk.

According to the research I did online you're apparently supposed to send your prints in to the police (and maybe the FBI) before you see the judge so they know you aren't trying to dodge out of a warrant, then you see the judge and get the ruling, then you have to change records and get new IDs.

Then she gets to waltz in and show the marriage license and get it all done free and easy because she's getting married and it's no big deal.
