I changed my name because it was important to my husband, despite us both being feminists. Sometimes I wonder if it was wise because it has professional considerations for me, but he is important to me and it was important to him, so I did it, and I'd do the same again.

Wife take's the husband's last name and uses her maiden name as her middle name. Happy to solve that for you.

Always amusing to get an unthinking tool's take on such a question.

My fiancé is keeping her name as she has academic publications under it and her profile would be confusing if she changed.
My surname is an amalgamation of my parents. My mother never took my dad's name.

That was also one of the reasons why my wife kept hers

Is this a reference to the fact I should be defining each variable and what did and did not occur?

I ask because once all my immigration stuff goes through, I'm planning on changing my surname to my wife's maiden name, for no particular reason other than I happen to like her surname more than my own, and I'm always a fan of breaking with tradition when there's no real reason for the tradition.
My wife's female cousin just got married to her wife, and they decided to take the wife's name. I guess it works the same for men marrying men? Either way, it would be interesting to know what people think, whether you know people who did non-traditional things with their surnames after marrying.
Names are arbitrary, If I saw you in real life I'd probably think of you as Tiberious anyway.
