Is it possible in the US to take both names after marriage?

Where isn't it possible?

In Switzerland for example. Either both use the same name or they keep the one they already had.

According to https://www.ch.ch/en/married-name/

> Surnames combined with a hyphen, such as Meier-Müller, are still allowed. Combined surnames are not official registered names, but may be used in everyday situations and recorded in your passport and identity card.

So, it's not "official" but you can use it everywhere including on your official documents.
