Last names

[David Friedman]

I'm just wondering if there is anything in the Faith, like perhaps a letter, 
bearing on the issue of what name to take when one marries.  Is there an 
ideal, like the woman taking the man's name, or having a hypenated name?  
Occasionally the woman gets her husband to change, apparently to help bring 
about the equality of men and women.  I don't know that that would be a 
valid reason.  The problem with hypenated names is that the generations that 
follow could keep adding names, so that eventually one might have ten names. 
 That would be a little silly.

Regards,
David
