I'm going to hyphenate my name because my brother is the ONLY male left in our family to carry on our name and if he only has girls or doen't have children at all, our name will die out. I only wish my sister had chosen the same because she now has two beautiful sons who have only her husband's name to carry on. Another take on it, is it's two families coming together in the bond of marriage. Not just his. I think it's great that more women are carrying on their family names.
