I believe that the couple would hyphenate their names, or just keep their own. I have seen it done both ways. I think it just depends on the couple.
I think one of the factors that may decide if they are to change their name would be their occupation. Say if they are an actor, they wouldnt change their name due to the "familiarity" to society and instant recognition. No different than other people in hetero relationships.

Why change your names at all? You have careers...people already know you by the name you have. It's not like you have kids in school. At that time you can make those arrangements.
If it doesn't work out...no problem, no changes to make. I have a neice who is a TV anchorperson...she did not change her name when she married...because professionally she had a name. Her audience knew her by that name. Same with CNN's Christianne Amanpour...she married Jamie Rubin...famous in his own right as a Washington spokesperson for the former secretary of state.

The married gay male couples I know hyphanate, but some probably don't change their names at all.

Whoever's they wanted too! Or they'd keep their own. This would be a lot like what straight couples do.
But why let gay people marry? Haven't they suffered enough?

Whom's ever they wanted if the other guy like the other guy's last name better then he would take the other guys last name. good luck

They wouldn't have to take one last name. They could both keep their (ahem) "maiden" names, or they could hyphenate their names. Just like many heterosexual couples do now.

hmmm....good point. I've never thought of it. I think they'd both have to agree which one to take. Maybe the one that sounds better, or the one that is easier to spell.

Whichever one they chose - they're the only ones whose opinions matter.

It would be "John Flower Butterfly"

Maybe they'd hyphenate it.
