Why yes, how dare these uppity women refuse to surrender their entire identity and heritage. They should just accept convention and become Mrs [husband's name] forever, to correctly identify them as his property.
Christ, they'll be giving them the vote next.

Ah, Miss Whiplash perchance?Mrs Wz carried on using her maiden name when we got married 33 years ago. It was what she was known as in business and she didn't want to get all the literature and everything else associated with her businesses changed
To be fair to her, no woman is going to want the surname Tubthumper.

Good point
As I mentioned, the Frau kept her name for two reasons.
1) It's a total pain in the arse to change everything with her maiden name both personally and professionally.
2) She's quite happy being identified by her original name.
At best there is absolutely no point to it. At worse it's outdated sexism. And the best argument you have is that i'm depriving the world of the name Tubson?
Lawrence never married Nancy, so we missed out on:

I have a double-barreled surname because my parents didn't marry, and split when I was young. When i was around 12, I took my mothers surname on the end because her father was upset that his family name would end with his kids because his only son didn't have/want kids.

They do a lot of double barreled names in Hispanic cultures. The convention is usually that a child will take the first surname of each parent to generate their double-barreled surname.

It’s getting silly I agree. At my local fire station there’s a recently married guy now called Pugh-Pugh-Barney-Mcgrew-Cuthbert-Dibble-Grubb

Quite by chance, Mrs P and I have the same surname. Strangely causes a lot of confusion having the same surname but not being married.
