My boyfriend actually wants to take mine when we get married. His reasoning is because he doesn't like his family and doesn't want to be associated with them (for good reason), nor does he want me to have to be associated with them by name.
I would, just because I don't like my last name lol. I think it should be a personal choice for everyone. I definitely would prefer to have the same last name as my husband and future children, with no hyphenations.
Nope cause I'm my dad girl. My dad is my hero so i need my hero when my husband misstates me or disrespect me. He will always be there 🙏🏼 i have trust issues.
Depending on where you are at I don't not believe it is required that you take the person's last name. But my question is if you love the guy or the woman why would you not want to take his last name?
Definitely. I've got 2 brothers. My dad doesn't have to worry about his line. The only way I'd keep my name was if I was the only child or only had sisters.
Yes I would cuz it would mean a lot to me and knowing that we are now one then 2 and cuz I love him with all of my heart soul mind strenghth and body and cuz it a fresh start to
I'd rather skip the marriage thing, but if I were to get married the names don't really matter to me. In theory I like the idea of keeping your name, but my last name sucks, so... lol
I wouldn't take his last name but if its really important to him that i take it, then i would comprimise by adding it to my last name for example : Morales-Gonzales something like that
I think it is different for every situation and a conversation you also need to have with your fiancé. In the end though the choice needs to be made by you and no one else

i just love how all the females are down voting every guy who wants his wife to take her last name

Honestly if she wasn't going to I wouldn't marry her.
I would. Even though I like my last name more than his, I could never disrespect him that way.
If a female will not take my last name during marriage then there won't be a marriage. What's the point?
Nope. Do you know how much paperwork you have to drag down to the DMV or any other government office? It's horrible! It's not worth the hassle.
Definitely. I've got 2 brothers. My dad doesn't have to worry about his line.
The only way I'd keep my name was if I was the only child or only had sisters.
But why you need to change... Is that way you show respect to him?
Nah. Maybe I'm just a traditionalist. However if he wanted to take mine that would be cool too.
Yes I would cuz it would mean a lot to me and knowing that we are now one then 2 and cuz I love him with all of my heart soul mind strenghth and body and cuz it a fresh start to

Absolutely! It's just proving my commitment and consolidating it further

I would be ok with hyphenating both names. That's a compromise I can work with.

... so discuss this with the person you're going to spend every day of the rest of your life with.
if you dont want dont get married, if my future wife refuses to take my last name then to me no deal there, no compromises here she must take it.
I would like to take my wife's last name because I do not like my current one
Then change it
The women has to take the last name. STOP RUING EVERYTHING
In my culture both partners could keep their last name, it would be weird if I take his or he takes mine.
Its the same here in tunisia
