More men taking wives' last names

[Skyclad1uhm1]

I wouldn't mind it. Just like I wouldn't mind it if the girl decides to stick with her name or take my last name. As long as the chosen name doesn't sound silly.

John Wayne's real name = Marion Robert Morrison. First his parents changed it because they wanted to reuse his middle name for his new brother, then the studio changed it for his first film without him being present.

at least this was this dude's choice, I don't see a problem.

I'd consider changing mine to a single name like "Bono" when I get cool enough. Maybe the wife could go with "Cher", we could be like Bono and Cher.

I'd change my name to Max Power. I found it on a hair dryer.

SPIDEYFAIL!

When are you going to learn that you get into trouble drunk-posting?

I don't know if you become flippant or drop all pretenses, becoming glaringly forthright. It would appear that you and your girl would be happier in the 50s-60s as represented in 'mad men'.

:thumbsup: - which is exactly what happened

What do you do with the kids?

I don't want my kids to have a dashed last name (Wife-Husband). What are your kid's kids going to be named? (Wife1-Husband1-Wife2-Husband2)?

Hyphenated-names bug me also. It's a pyramid scheme. The spanish can attest to trying to give the family lineage in a last name. I assume a woman who would insist on a hyphenated last name also has a problem with the word history. This is not a very progressive opinion but - oh, well.

Talked with the girl about this. I was all excited as we both play golf - "Just think honey! You're initials will be PAR"

Then she said "Umm, i'd have my last name as my maiden name so I lose my middle you dummy"

my sis and mom both did that. my sister actually used first middle new surname...but she signed EVERYTHING first, last, new surname...so she went and legally changed it to that.

That's awfully beta.

Also, a crazy mixup with your occupation would be cool....Dr. Cranston Fumbles, Ecoli Meatman or Father Devilan Satan.

Yes, it is things like this that cause males to lose fat and muscle tissues.

So women that take their husbands name are weak bitches?

 

[TwiceOver]

A friend of mine and his new wife decided on a new last name. When their wedding invite arrived in the mail I didn't know who it was so I just chucked it in a pile of stuff to go through. I got a call the week before asking if I was coming to the wedding (8hr drive).

No, it's simply tradition for them -- at least in the U.S. My wife was quite fond of her last name, because she is proud of her Greek heritage. So she dropped her middle name (which she never liked) and made her maiden name her new middle name. And of course, she took my last name.

She signs most everything first name, last name. She only uses her middle name when required.

I'd be pretty pissed if she didn't take my last name or did the hyphen bullshit.

Tradition starts and ends at some point and new ones take over... or you still be picking tabacco/cotton in NC.

Meh, but this is one tradition that you won't see me bucking -- and I wouldn't equate slavery with changing ones name anyway.

 

[rudder]

I would do it. Then I could finally travel to all the wonderful places where I have outstanding warrants.

bingo, the same women pushing for this kind of nonsense hardly ever refuse an engagement ring because it represents a purchase of her as a person..and is unequal.

I'd be damned if I ever changed my last name, but imo the worst is people with hyphenated last names. Indecisive nutbars need to pick a name and stick with it.

What about last night do you not want to change?

 

[SunnyD]

I would have, and in fact I asked my wife if I could have her last name. I have one of the few Polish last names that really isn't spelled the same as it sounds. It came down to the lesser of two evils - be associated with her family or have my last name. We chose the latter, as living with a fucked up last name is far more tolerable.

 

[TheVrolok]

I'm not changing my last name, and I wouldn't mind my wife is she wanted to keep hers especially if she were a professional where name recognition were important (Doctor, Lawyer, etc.). But my kids are taking my last name, and we're not doing any of that hyphenation non-sense.
