Best Answer

Some women are professionals and due to notoriety or career she has to keep her name. Some women want to keep their surname and not take their husband's name while others will use the two names. If her name is Sharon White and she marries John Smith there are three ways she can do this: * Mrs. John White-Smith * Mrs. Sharon White-Smith * Sharon White It's a great idea for ALL women to keep their surname and hyphenate it with their husband's surname for genealogy purposes. Once a woman is married and takes on her husband's surname it's very difficult to track her down.
