Guys would you upset/offended if your wife didn't take your last name?

I don't really know how I'd feel, but if everything else about the relationship works, then I suppose it wouldn't make that much difference. But one question: Suppose you have a kid, or kids, which last name would the child take? Or would you do a hyphenated last name, like the British uppah clawsses sometimes do?

[Summeroflove]

Well as for me I like my last name and eventually want to pass it down but I can respect it if a woman feels the same way. Everyone is different and compatibility so these are conversations people need to have before and during marriage talks.

We never bothered with the name change outdated nonsense.

That’s why I’d make sure to find a lady who is willing to take my last name. In most cases the women are the ones who want to get married, so at least take his last name if he’s willing to make that ultimate commitment. Seems odd when two people are married w different last names.

You want your wife to change her identity?

[Opinion Owner]

No. See this is why a lot women can’t find men. You think I want her to. I want a a girl who wants to. There’s a difference. The same w having a stay at home wife. Women think oh so you want a slave. No I want a girl who wants to stay home, who wants to be a wife, a mother. Again there’s a difference. You’re asking him to change his identity in numerous ways by getting married.

[Asker]

I'm a traditional woman. I just thought about how my identity would change. I won't respond to Miss (my last name) I would respond to a new last name. I really want to keep my dad's last name

[Opinion Owner]

Then find a man who is ok w that. I’m sure some men would be ok w it. Not everyone is the same. That’s just what I prefer.

[Asker]

Ik it's okay if you prefer that. I just found it to be really sad. 😢

[Opinion Owner]

What did you find really sad?

[Asker]

That a woman doesn't get to keep her dad's last name 🥺😭 it's something she can keep from her dad

[Opinion Owner]

She can if the man she’s marrying is ok w that. No one saying she can’t. There’s some women who don’t want their dad’s last name or don’t care. Some women see it as a sacrifice to their husband for hand in marriage. So if you had kids w this man what would the kids’ last names be?

[Joshydavid25]

Yeah, I would be a little offended if she didn't want to take my last name honestly.. That's a feminist type of thing..

[Asker]

I'm not a feminist. I'm a traditional woman. I just thought about how my identity would change. I won't respond to Miss (my last name) I would respond to a new last name. I really want to keep my dad's last name 😔

[ChicoFromThe305]

I don't think so as long as the kids do I guess, it's an Italian last name, I wouldn't want my family tree to die out so I hope someone in my family carries it on

[Blunky]

Not really attached to or fond of my last name. I'd honestly offer to take hers.

[LiamJHayden]

Well I've joked about wanting to marry Hayden Panettiere so that her name would be Hayden Hayden, but seriously I would not care.

[bowenw]

It is irrelevant to me.

[Alex-Snow]

Not at all. It is her choice.

[Ariesman81]

She's not a wife if she wouldn't

[BarryLiverstone]

I’d like us to have the same last name

[Cyrus000]

Nah not really

[wkhan_87]

No i won't
