What does a woman’s surname say about her husband? This question often arises when the woman chooses to either retain her family name or use a compound name after marriage. A new study recently looked at how the woman’s choice of her surname is perceived by the public. The researchers found that in the United States, men married to women who do not use their husband’s surname are perceived as ‘submissive’, ‘caring’, ‘disempowered’, ‘understanding’ or ‘timid’.
