How do I handle a contact that is a couple with two last names?

    This may be an easy question to some, but what would how would you suggest I enter a contact if the contact is a couple with two last names. This only matters for mass mail outs, and I know it would be possible to do in excel. However I was wondering if it would be possible to do in salesforce.
Is there anyway I can add to the set standard contact name fields?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have worked on projects for several companies/organizations that require direct mailing capabilities.

Here is a way to handle this:

create an addressee (text) field and a do not mail (check) field in the contact page

put both names in the addressee field on one contact

the second contact can be marked with the do not mail checkbox

create your template (labels or letter) using the Addressee field

filter out the do not mail list when creating your mass mail merge

Hope this helps!
