the Power of a Name  By Jim Engle  In America and in much of the
Western World in recent centuries a woman has typically given up
her last name, her family name, when she marries. She sacrifices
a part of her identity and takes on that of her husband; thus
Peg Groff became Peg Engle when she married me. In the past few
decades some couples have tried to be more equitable by using a
hyphenated name, especially if the woman has become well known
by her maiden name. So we considered using Peg and Jim Groff-
Engle. Occasionally both members of a married couple will each
keep their own names. In America this sometimes gives the
impression that the two are not really married, so it is helpful
then to say, for example, Jim Engle and Peg Groff, a married
couple.  But other countries have different customs with names.

even after marriage. This can be a problem for a naïve visitor
