Since it is [current year] and feminism is still trending would you be willing to take your wife's name instead of her taking yours?
Also lots of women these days seem to keep their maiden name when married and just use "Ms" [maiden name] - in that situation would you be ok with your kids being given the wife's surname?
I guess double barrelled names have been around for a bit and perhaps have originated from this second issue - they're also often seen as being a bit posh and perhaps part of their origin, rather than being rooted in feminism, is rooted in the rich father in law deeming his family name to have some importance (and perhaps it being rare too) and well it is better for little Rupert to share the name if he wants that inheritance...
I know of one person who has changed his name - he and his wife combined their names to form a new surname.
I know of another case, not a friend of mine but of my sister's, where the husband has just accepted his wife's name... no double barrel option, just taken the wife's name. If that sounds a bit ****** then for other reasons it seems that this person literally is.
Fully star swearwords and DON'T give hints to what the word is
