I get what you're saying but having a single last name is convenient (doesn't necessarily have to be the dude's name). Especially if you plan to have kids.

If your kids have two last names, and they marry someone with two last names it could theoretically be a compounding problem. You gotta draw the line somewhere

You just hyphen the names, give the kids the hyphen last names, and find out when they get married who there favorite parent really was.

It's extremely common for people in Iberian and Mediterranean cultures to get two surnames, some of which get compounded. Nobody thinks it's a problem.

I don’t doubt it. I’m not sure what we would have done if we’d intended to have kids.
