Either, neither, or both, as each one chooses, and as both agree upon.

There shouldn't be any formal law regarding their name change, even though there might be. They have a choice on what they do with it. It seems most same sex couples, decides to keep their names as they were before marriage.

Maybe they each get theirs hyphenated with the others last name. I've heard of some doing that

I have heard of:

• Neither changing their last names.

• Both changing their last names to a portmanteau of their former names (i.e., 'Baker' and 'Johnson' to 'Jonker').

• Both changing their last names to the aforementioned hyphenations (i.e., 'Baker-Johnson' and 'Johnson-Baker').

• Both changing their last names to the last name of an historical LGBTQ person.

• Only one taking on their partner's last name.


It doesn't really matter, of course, as long as it is done legally. There are even legal procedures to change one's name without being married at all!
