A woman from the past I just caught up to has a hyphenated name. She says she goes by, either her maiden name, or husband's last name, or the hyphenated name. She has been married before and it was hell getting it changed back during the divorce.
I noticed this trend with a lot of women. Also, I know several professional women who have married and kept their last name. Coincidently, all these men are not the bread winners, and have that Fred Flintstone/Barney Rubble look to them.
Have you noticed this, and is this a fad?
