 Nowadays, fewer women adopt, even officially, their husbands' names, and among those who do so officially, it is quite common not to use it either in their professional or informal life.The children usually bear only the last surnames of the parents (i.e., the paternal surname of each of their parents).For example, "Carlos da Silva Gonçalves" and "Ana Luísa de Albuquerque Pereira (Gonçalves)" (in case she adopted her husband's name after marriage) would have a child named "Lucas Pereira Gonçalves".
