What is what? They combined names. I know people that have done this. Heck, I know people married int he 70s that did this.

Some people even take part of their last names and combine them so they both have new last names.

What is this?
Is your niece the bossy sort?
It may be part of an FLR arrangement.

This. Not sure why the OP is so confused about it, it's pretty common.

What, only guys who go out with bossy women combine surnames when they marry? LOL.

It's not THAT common here. Yes, it's done, but it's still not the norm.

I don't know if it "the norm" anywhere in the U.S., but that's different than it being something noteworthy.

As said... whatever may have been common 100 years ago in England...
or may even occur today in some corners of the world...
it is not the least bit common in the US now ... nor at any time in the past.

Some couples choose to do this. It's been going on for decades, as Timberline said: since the 70's.
