Did you take your husband's name?

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

I need an "other" category too!!

Here in Belgium, a woman never loses her last name. In all mail and other things, we all use a combination of both names. At work, only the "original" name is used. Sounds confusing?
Well, I am Mrs.Gabriels, on our mail is always written "Mr. & Mrs. (or Lut & Bernard) Gabriels-Lobeau, on my pasport and drivers license there is Lut Lobeau. Easy, isn't it

btw: My "maiden" name is Lut Lobeau, and my hubbies is Bernard Gabriels

I liike that method. Seems very civilized to me.

I took my husbands last name, which was common back in the day.
Didn't mind at all because I always wanted children.
