And what else do you UWS’ers let your wife do?

Makeup?
Drive?
Wear shoes?

35 years ago I left it up to her...she took my last name. No hyphen.

For the ultimate in (*clutch your pearls ladies*) cuckoldry, I used to know a guy who hyphenated his last name when he got married.

There was a guy in my high school whose parents hyphenated their names to make his. For example, mom was a Jones, Dad was a Smith, he was a Jones-Smith. Serious.

Neither of them must have had an engineering degree because that system doesn’t scale. [emoji23]

I've seen this before and it's always boggled me. Are the kids supposed to hyphenate their names...creating quadruple hyphenated names?

Good husbands in SC let their wives out at least twice a day.

LOL- I had to smile at the way Uppy phrased that...

For some reason, the state of Virginia decided to hypenate my wife's name on her nursing license...on their own...she has never had it corrected...

My wife uses her maiden name professionally because she has an established reputation and multiple certifications/licenses in her maiden name. It makes sense to use it.

If you get married right out of college or if the woman is going to be a stay-at-home mom, then taking the husband's name makes sense. But if she has a pre-existing career with a professional reputation, then it may not make sense to throw that name recognition away.

(And it's her decision - not mine - as Riverguy said, we don't "let" our wives do anything.)

I've joked about that - I want to see two people with hyphenated names get married and name the baby Bob Alexander-Patterson-Thompson-Hernandez.

One of my high school friends who used to be very ultra-conservative in the olden days has been over-educated in useless degrees (phd in English, etc) and has turned into a flaming liberal nutjob. (Though, oddly, he still has some common sense on a few things and whenever he shows some common sense on Facebook, his LWNJ friends are ticked off at him.) Anyway, he changed his name to Wifeslastname-Hislastname.

"Dash" isn't a hugely unusual last name. I'd get a kick out of seeing that one hyphenated. It would go well with Pound. Especially if there is a kid involved named Colin. And he enters a march madness pool.

What bracket is Colin Dash Pound in?

The Mexican culture uses long names which I believe takes both parents last names. Now I'm really reaching, but I think the 2nd name is the "primary" last name, which goes to the heir, along with the spouses "primary" last name.

Let me add that it is a great way to trace lineage. It's similar to custom in the U.S. (maybe from Germany?) of using the mother's maiden name as the child's middle name.

Interesting. His wife has an Italian-sounding last name and I always thought she looked Italian, but she could be Hispanic. (Honestly, I'm not very good at telling race sometimes. One of my friends in college I used to think he was Hispanic when we first met but then I realized eventually he was a white guy who had a tan at the beginning of school from working outside over the summer.)

Think that's a latin thing in general. Had a Puerto Rican girl tell me one time that if you don't use three names down there people think you are a bastard. I can never remember whether you are supposed to use the "middle" name or the last name when referring to them as Ms. or Mr. I think its the middle name.

There is no point. Outside of professional reasons, hyphenated names are for idiots seeking perceived social status. Sort of like putting double deuces on your Tercel.
