When I get married I'm thinking of merging last names with my fiance. Do you think that's a feminist thing to do? Or is that equalist?

Everybody does their own thing, but I always thought that would get unwieldy if it became the norm. 

When two people do it and you get something simple Smith-Jones, that isn't too bad. But if their child marries the child of another family who did the same thing, you would get something like Smith-Jones-Pierce-Franklin. And then it just keeps going, until everyone's last name is just an amalgamation of all the last names ever.
