Marriage Surnames
#7
RE: Marriage Surnames
My last name is a portmanteau of my biological parents surnames. I ammore of a fan of taking the male surname, but maybe having the female surname as a middle name. Secondary to that, I do like hyphenation. I jut don't like not having that family connection, so I don't like the portmanteau route.

The other extreme is a prep school soccer player in Pennsylvania back in the mid-'00s that had a double-hyphenated surname. I forget his name, but it would be like "Jake Fiorello-McCabe-Maxwell."
