Law / Legal Change of Name After Marriage (I'm UK, she is Polish) [12]
Well, some of us have had enough of "exotic" names here. It's not traditional in Poland for a married woman to change the spelling of her husband's name. Keeping her maiden name is one thing, even add a hyphen between the two if she really has too, but this business of "oh but in Poland it's TRADITION to spell it this way" just serves to wind people up and essentially say that UK traditions aren't good enough for them.
