Gade's full name???

**sigit1029** · 02-05-2009, 03:25 AM

Could anyone tell me Gade"s full name?

When I watched badminton games about 12 years ago, his name usually

shows Peter Gade "Christiansen".

But now, I always find his name is Peter Gade "Hoeg" .

why?

I think it is because he was married

(I think).

Wait, does it mean that, if a Danish male marries, his family name will be replaced by his wife's?

that we have to wait for danish bcers to tell us more..

maybe the male's name will merge with the wife's family name, Peter Gade-Hoeg, just like say, Wright-Phillips? and the same for the female as well vice versa??

In the Nordic countries tradition has it that a married couple uses the mans family name. But it is also allowed and common to have both, or to take the womans family name, it is basically all upp to the couple marrying to decide :-)

so for a while when he was with Camilla Martin (retired danish badminton player). did they ever get married?
his wife name Camilla Hoeg? he must like the name Camilla or it must be a very common name

would have been 'Peter Martin-Gade'
