I wouldn't have a problem with my bride not wanting to change her last name. I just wouldn't hyphenate my name. If she doesn't want to change, then either we have different last names or we both change to one non-hyphenated name. That's my take (I'm old).
Now I'm seeing kids with hyphenated names because their parents went that route. What happens when Joe Johnson-Wilhelm marries Jane Jackson-Fletcher? Do they become Mr and Mrs Johnson-Wilhelm-Jackson-Fletcher?
