Last Name Combiner

Getting married and want to share a new family name? Enter both last names and see every way to combine them, from Smith-Garcia to brand new blends.

Ways to combine two last names

• Hyphenated: both names joined with a hyphen, in either order.
• Double-barrelled: both names side by side with a space.
• Blended: part of one name joined to part of the other, for a completely new surname.

Things to check before you change your last name

• How the name sounds with each of your first names and with future children’s names.
• How it fits on forms, bank cards and email addresses, since long hyphenated names can get cut off.
• The legal steps where you live, because the rules for taking a new or blended surname are different in each country and state.

This tool gives ideas only. For a legal name change, check with your local registry office or court.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a blended last name?

It is a new surname made from parts of both names, such as part of Smith and part of Garcia. Some couples choose one so neither name comes first.

Should the hyphenated name go in alphabetical order?

There is no rule. Many couples pick the order that sounds best, which is why the tool shows both.

Can I legally use a blended surname?

In many places you can, through a marriage or a name change process. The rules depend on where you live, so check with your local office.
