What is a Husband and Wife Name Combiner?

When two people marry, many couples want a shared last name. A husband and wife name combiner takes both surnames and shows ways to merge them: a hyphenated name, two names joined into one word, or a brand-new blended surname. It also adds family-style options such as “The Smith-Jones Family” and “Mr. & Mrs.” versions for wedding signs, invitations and thank-you cards.

How to Use It

1. Enter both last names. Type your surname and your spouse’s surname.
2. Press Combine Names. You will see the first 20 options straight away.
3. Choose a style. Filter by blended, hyphenated or joined names.
4. Show more. Press the button under the list for 20 more results.
5. Say it out loud. Check that the name is easy to say, spell and sign before you decide.

Ways to Combine Two Last Names

• Hyphenated: Smith and Jones become Smith-Jones or Jones-Smith. Both spouses can use it.
• Joined: SmithJones or JonesSmith, written as one word.
• Blended: A new name made from parts of both, such as Smitones or Smithones.
• Family and title styles: “The Smith-Jones Family” or “Mr. & Mrs. Smith-Jones”.

Before You Choose a New Last Name

Using a new or combined surname usually means updating legal documents. In the United States the process and fees depend on your state, and a name change after marriage often starts with your marriage certificate. Check with your county clerk or state government website for the exact steps. This tool only suggests ideas and does not provide legal advice.
