Would You Marry A Woman Who...

I would not marry a woman who wouldn't because she would be a man hating feminist basically if she would think the idea of taking my name is offensive to her.

so she'd be saving me from making a huge mistake.

I would change my last name for whoever I marry.

yea,why should i care if she wants to change her name or not?

That is so trivial for to even be put into consideration is silly.

Sure, why not?

My wife had a really cool last name, and I've got this ethnic Polish thing, but she was very happy and proud to take it. One of those million little things that shows how much she loves ya I guess.

If she wouldn't have taken my name, I dunno, it would be weird. Like really, is it that big of a deal? How many other little things are going to be a very big deal with you?

If I really loved her, then yes, I would, but I wouldn't take hers.

On the other hand, if she really loved me... why the heck wouldn't she take my name.

I don't like my last name so I wouldn't care.

Wouldn't change mine though..

Probably not.

Call me old-fashioned but that's just kind of how things work where I live. Not taking a family name is almost disrepective.

What bonding depends on sharing the same last name?

if the wife takes her husband's name, what happens if they get divorced? seems like a lot of hassle for no real benefit.Kh1ndjal

It's still beneficial to keep the name even after you divorce.

For example.

Let's say I get in a car accident, and I call my mom, but she can't prove I'm her son because she doesn't have the available papers on her, if her last name isn't Garcia, the hospital won't let her visit me/inform her of my status.

Easily remedied by keeping a card or paper or some such in your wallet that says "in case of emergency contact" and then lists names and numbers.

With my friends, I'm one of the few that actually would take my husband's name. One of them has a hyphenated name and want to hyphenate it again :roll:

I always had one as a kid.

Hmm well there would have to be a compromise if she doesnt take my name there would be a pre-nub

A pre-nub?

No. Not taking my last name shows that she gets upset over trivial sh*t.

Necrifer

Seems you get upset by trivial sh*t.

I wouldn't care if my wife didn't take my last name, but I do want my kids to have my surname though.

It may seem like it.

We would have discussed this before hand, so no.

Don't know why it's always the male that's supposed to keep their name and the woman is supposed to lose hers. Doesn't make sense to me.

Do you mean like hyphenating the name or straight up just keeping her name and I keep mine or even worse, trying to make me take hers?

As to the latter two, not a chance in.... well..... Never.

All of the "Sure's" and "yes's" and any other perfectly fine responses are foreign to me. How progressively efeminite in my book. I guess every generation is down to buck tradition in some form or fashion. Too bad we can't buck divorce law and the settlements that entails then.

I don't think it has much to do with masculinity or femininity. Its a ridiculous tradition in the first place. If your ego is that big you'd reject a good woman because she wouldn't take a name then that seems a little nutty.

Err yeah? My last name aint special really, Its one of the most common in my country.

Besides, Whoever pops the big question usually gets to keep thier last name here ^^ (altho Im not sure if it is a law or just a common practise).
