The Modern Dilemma: Choosing a Last Name in 2025

In today's world, more and more couples are seeking a last name solution that reflects their partnership and honors both of their family histories. The tradition of one partner taking the other's name doesn't always fit. Hyphenating can be cumbersome, and choosing one name over the other can feel like leaving a vital part of one's identity behind. This is the modern dilemma for couples building a life together: how do you choose a family name that is inclusive, respectful, and uniquely yours?
