WTF are you talking about. You know the reason women have taken the last name of the man is it was a sign that she belonged to him. Women use to have less rights then a pet. I live in the south and I thought I heard some dumb things, but some of you really take the cake on this one. I guess love means nothing to you, you just want to make sure you can brand ?your property? as that all a woman is to you. :roll:
While I don't agree with the quoted poster about if your views are different you shouldn't be together, the last name thing is not about having less rights than the man or being subservient to him or anything like that. It's about unity, about joining together, about becoming a family.
AGAIN, no it is not. It is about property. Look in history and it is clear as a bell. Women have taken their husbands name as they pretty much belonged to him. There was a time when pets had more rights then a married woman. Just because that is what you have been told/seen growing up, that is just a cover for its dirty past.
Don;t believe me, go look it up, please.
Like I said before I don;t care. If I love someone and want to marry them, changing last names is 2nd at best to anything else in the marriage. And being my girl friend is Asian (seems to be a running theme) she would not take my last name if we were to marry.
""Marshall Field's, for instance, insists that women turn in their credit cards after marriage and have them reissued in their husband's name. If a woman can prove she has an independent source of income, the store may allow her to have her own card issued to her first name and her husband's surname. Under no circumstances will she be allowed to maintain an account under her maiden name."
I don't think this would be a big problem - my brother's wife kept her maiden name after marriage, and I don't consider it rude.
I'd want her too... But would not be offended if she did not, as if she does she is going to have a very Christmasy name
Don't care. When the subject came up when I got married, that's exactly what I said and that the decision was hers.

my first wife did, my second didn't.
A japanese woman with an irish last name is a little messed up though...they have a hard enough time getting her first name.
My last name doesn't always spell out how it sounds. She'd be miserable.
I don't care if my 'name' is branded on the as$.

I would be hella offended. She should take my last name cause that's the way it should be. How are you supposed to be a family if you live under two names?
My wife hyphenated her name followed by my name. I don't have a problem with it, especially since she's the one that has to write the whole damn thing out, 17 characters total for her legal last name. She has resorted to just my last name now wherever she can get away with it.

Depends.. If she has professional reasons for keeping her name, that would be one thing.
The hyphenated name thing doesn't sit too well with me, as it tends to mean 'just passing through'.

OK, by your reasoning you should take her last name. That way SHE is not offended and you would be a "family" under one name.
my last name is Wang. Her first name is Angela. I got no problems if she wants to keep her last name. my name dosent fit many people.
