[quote=GAFFER,390085]In the UK and USA and probably most western countries, tradition demands that the child always takes the husbands name (but not necesarily the fathers if he is not married to the mother). Also, unlike China, the wife usually takes her husbands family name too. However, in cases where the couple do not wish to lose the wifes family name, they can use both. So the family name might become Smith-Johnson (Mary Smith-Johnson). Isn't this compromise possible in China?[/quote]
