A woman has been backed by the internet after her husband assumed she would be changing her name to his.
The wife took to online social forum, Reddit, to explain that she had been married to her husband for seven years and had never changed her last name.
She is about to graduate with a PhD, and she was planning to change her name before this happens. The woman was planning to hyphenate her name to two names, in honour of her dad's play doctor name of Dr Johnson when she was younger.
