As more and more women of my age (27) are not taking their husbands' names,
then this question will soon become redundant.

What I have wondered, though, is this: couples in which the female retains
her maiden name often give their children a double-barrelled surname which
is both of their names combined.  What will happen when these children
marry?  Will their offspring all have quadruple-barrelled names?  And their
children octuple-barrelled names?

I have heard of a woman whose married name is Amber Gamber.

Actually that would be Hilary Hillary.

This reminds me of when I had a girl friend
named "Andrea".  Everyone got a big kick
out of that for some reason.

Mike Andreas

I had a friend named Kelly whose husband was born with the last name of
Kelly, but was adopted later by a stepfather.  She laughed that she would
have been Kelly Kelly.

I had an Art Teacher in high school named Elston Elston... she had been married,
but I don't know how she handled her name. Interesting point, but imagine if the
woman had been born in France where they use to force you to pick an approved
name.

Of course, hyphenated names can also produce 'interesting' results.  Say
John Lennon's widow marries Sonny of 'Sonny & Cher'.  Then, she would be
known as Yoko Ono-Bono!!!!!

I'm sure there are a lot more names out there like this!!!

A while back this "same name" situation occurred in the SF Bay Area,
even made Herb Caen.  For those of us who had to deal with telling them
apart we used he-Robin and she-Robin or Mr-Robin and Mrs.-Robin (using
first names only).  Even though they are no longer together, the prefix
remains somewhat permanently attached to each of them.

My fiance's name is Aaron, and mine is Erin.  Around here, both are
pronounced identically, so there's already quite a bit of confusion,
especially when it involves phones.  Our middle names are nearly
identical as well.

I can't imagine what it will be like when we share both first and
last names.  Maybe our kids should be Aeryn and Eryn and Aeron. :)

I think if the woman didn't want that situation, and wanted to take her
husband's name, she could always go by her middle name. However, I'm glad
I didn't have to face that. :)

Her maiden name was Kelly and her father called her Kelly so maiden name
was Kelly Ann Kelly.  She did marry a man with the last name of Kelly *and*
kept her maiden name as her middle name becoming Kelly Kelly Kelly.  Explain

My brother-in-law had a friend who became Stacy Lacy when she married.

.oops., just remembered doing a weddings where:
The groom took the brides last name and she took
his and    hyphened it

..where the bride had a hyphened name from a privous marriage
(kept it) and married a guy with a hyphened name (his mother
remarried)  so she was  Linda  Weathers-Daunbey-Markers-Riggilino

..where both the bride and groom was named  Kim, Kym

..where the groom's name was.....    T.R.
(I finally just turned off my ears to any hey T.R.'s that day,
weirder is that he married a Barb, the same name of the
lady I had been with for the past 4 years until a breakup)

signed,
T.R.   (not the groom)

Actually, it would probably be Hilary Rodham which is what she called
herself during Clinton's first term as Governor of Arkansas.  It turned
out to be a political liability so she changed it to Hilary Rodham
Clinton.

An example of a famous woman whose maiden and married names were the
same is Eleanor Roosevelt.  She and Franklin Roosevelt, however, were
related by a distant relationship before marriage (something like fifth
cousins).

Particularly in a case where the names are the same anyway, why does the
woman need to "give up" her middle name?

I just don't get it.

Hehehehe.  It brings up a serious question though.  My fiance and I want to
change BOTH of our last names to something completely different (Rowan
maybe?) and we're not sure of the legal niceities in the States or the
proper ettiquette as far as informing our families are concerned.  I mean,
I'm not very close to my family, but it's hard to casually mention I'm
completely dropping my most obvious affiliation with them.

Thanks,

How about giving yourselves nicknames? Celeste and Ariel? Fred & June?
Erin and Erache?

: Cathy, why doesn't he take your last name?  Anyhow, since we are talking

He doesn't want to (and I don't have a problem with that).  And I don't
believe that Dennis Rodman and David Robinson are getting married (to each
other that is), though if they did, do you think they'd hypenate?  Denis
Rodman-Robinson is rather hard to say, don't you think?

Cathy Byland

Not quite so extreme, but I know someone with two PhD's; we call him
'Doctor Doctor'. We discovered later that his postcode ends in '2DR'.

I dated a young woman in North Carolina named Jody Benson. My name is
Benson Wood. Would her name have been Jody Benson-Benson Wood.

Nope, Jody Benson Wood. But if you would have taken her name then you would
have been Benson Benson

My parents once knew a woman whose married name was Carol Carroll - she
died after being pushed into a burning barbeque pit by her husband
