  • Absolutely, for many it’s nice to be under one name even if there is no legal need. I do think though that in a world where taking the male family name is not a default and anything can happen, double barrelling becomes problematic as a solution. You can only double barrel so many times! We need a new tradition that is equal for everyone and scales well. My favourite is what I once witnessed at a fantastic wedding. Before cutting their cake, the happy couple literally did a coin flip to choose who would take the other’s name. It was easily the most exciting part of the day.

    Thanks for your reply. I can’t say I relate to be honest, I would always want a good amount of all of those ingredients in stock. I can’t really see how mixing powder with water for 2 minutes constitutes an activity for a whole afternoon either.

    It should be unimportant, but some people kick up such a fuss about having to learn new things or changing what they claim is ‘natural’ that it is important to a lot of people. Gender is both a social construct, and a very real thing that does warrant discussion.
