I don't really like that the feminist stance on cis marriage is that women should keep their own surname rather than taking the man's (hexbear.net)

Why can't it be something fun like swapping surnames and then creating a portmaneau or blended name for the kids.

Hyphenated names but both names are passed down so you get mgm-mgf-pgm-pgf

The portmaneau/blending suggestion was specifically to stop hyperhyphenation, but we could lean into it like Discworld vampires and in a few generations have people with surnames like Smith-Huber-Кузнецо́в-김-García-Carvalho-सिंह-გელაშვილი.
