What a mesh

Women who don't want to lose their name in marriage have traditionally opted for double-barrelling their surname, or keeping their maiden name. Now, from the US, comes a new option: meshing.

If Pete Doherty and Kate Moss ever decide to get married and "mesh", they could be known as Mr and Mrs Doss. Tony Blair and George Bush are sometimes said to act like an old married couple, so they could be Mr and Mr Blush.

"Meshing" is the latest fad for newlyweds in the US and involves joining together a couple's existing surnames to come up with a new one just for them.
