Marrying someone with 2 family names - which do I get?

Names are divided into first names, middle names and surnames. You can only have one surname, but many ................. of the other names. Only if your husband's family names are combined with a hypen, it is considered one name.

The starting point is that we all keep our own family name when we marry if we haven't decided something else.  It is a possibility for both parties to take the other's middle names and surname. It only requires the other's permission.

You can also combine your names.
If your name is Smith Jones and your boyfriend's name is Hansen Jensen, you can choose to combine the names randomly, wear two of them, three of them or all four names.

The list of names can be very long with time. Imagine that a child with four names meet another child with four names, and they marry. And their children .............  When said, children will automatically wear their mother's family name unless you choose another solution.

In modern times where we are all equal individuals, I would keep my own family name, maybe a combination if you think so.
