Would you take your wifes name in marriage?

Like, instead of her changing her sirname to yours would you change yours to hers?

I would, my name's awful. I mean, who the hell has the sirname "Lawless"?

No I would not.

No since that's not how it works. If it were, I'd have no problem with it though. I hate that seperate last name crap. When you get married you're part of a family. That means one last name whoever's it is.

No i wouldn't.

Islamically speaking though, from what i understand. last names stay with the persons. wife always keeps her last name, and the husband always keeps his. children however take on the father's last name.

so last names are passed down patrilineally.

For sake of ease, families are usually known by the husbands last name.

Now i'm sure some peopel got a beef with that, and think it should be the other way around or something else. that's cool i guess. It is after just a name, much more important issue to get worked up about and you don't have to follow every damn tradition either.

No way in hell. If she didn't want to take my name, I guess that's fine but there is a line, and that crosses it.

No, I wouldn't.

My way or the highway.

I never knew my father at all.
So if she wanted to keep her name or whatever, I'd be like "sure why not, I like you more anyhow" :P

Depends on the name.

I think what I'll do when I get married (IF I get married) is pick out a cool new last name for both of us.

I've already started brainstorming.

How does RAGNAROK (and yes it would be in all caps) sound?

Mine's horrible. Some of my friends thought it was cool to have "Xie" as last name. No it ain't cool imo, as people pronounce it as the letter "Z" the American way. I'd rather not take my wife's last name unless it's something I like, and I don't my wife to take my last name either.

Absolutely not.

No I would not. But I don't expect her to take my name ether. And in fact she hasn't, though she sometimes uses it informally.

Well ya, that was years ago, now I just pronounce my last name like how everybody else pronouces it. Just got used to it, still a horrible last name.

Sounds like your ancestors was a group of thieves ;D

Pirate700

I would not. I like to be traditional and have her take my last name, and imagine all the torment you would get from your buddies, it wouldnt be worth it. haha

I have been asking around the elders of the family where the name came from. Even they have no idea :lol: It's said to have an Irish or Old English origin. It originally could have been spelled Laghelas, or it could have been a nickname given to an outlaw.

But I don't know, maybe if they had a surname that is 20x awesomer than Vasquez, then maybe.

NiKva

If she really wanted to, then sure. Don't worry too much about that sort of thing.

Nope, I would never give up my name.

I used to think I wouldn't under any circumstances, but then I met a guy whose last name is Thorkill.

I'd marry HIM to get that last name, and I'm not even gay.

Sure then she can strap on while I bend over...

xsatyr86

How 'bout no! :o

My manly bloodline, my last name. I shall continue my awesome legacy through my last name and sons.

Don't really care as long as it's her surname and not her christian name.

Oh and Blackie and Lucy do.

I've come accross a couple of de-aths in my time (no innuendo intended). I used to like that. I've also come across a duff-dick and if I met a girl with that name I'd tell her she can keep her duff-dick (quite why Mr Duff and Mrs Dick decided it would be a good idea to combine their names to form a double barrel I have no idea).

Sure, if she wanted it. I was never a huge fan of my surname.

Absolutely not, but then I probably won't get married anyway.

If I do end up getting married I would definitely takes my wifes last name, hell, thats what I plan on doing.

Since that is my first name I will adopt this last name. So that means theycallmeRR now.

I don't care, whats the big deal?

Yes, if it is absolutely most epicly awesome. Even though I am my family's last hope for continuing the family name...ah screw it I'd take a BA last name anyday.

I would take her name yes, unless she wants mine of course. Btw...didn't you do this thread a few days ago? Or was that someone else....?Sunsha

So you'd leave the decision to the other person?
