David and I talked it over and agreed Mrs Female-Tennant was a bit long …. so I’m sticking with Female :D
I took my husband’s name , u just did in those pre-historic times. When I got a divorce after 35 years of marriage my ex actually told me I couldn’t keep his name. Lol. Well since I had had that name twice as long as I had had my maiden name, and it was the name of my children (well my son at least) I didn’t see why I should change.
I never liked my maiden name anyway. I did think about creating a new name but my bank said they would only accept my maiden name and it started getting complicated so I just stayed with what I had, and it has the extra quality of irritating the ex lol.
In Spain and Portugal they give both parental names to kids:

Makes us sound rather outdated.

Yeah I agree with you, I think it important to keep the father of your kids’ name unless you remarry.
