If and when you ever get married, would you want to take your husband's last name or keep your name, or men, would you take HER last name?

I would want to take my husband's last name

I would want to keep my maiden name

I would want to Hyphenate it with mine and his

I'm a guy and would like to take HER last name

I'm a guy and would like to Hyphenate my last name with hers

I'm a guy and would prefer if we each kept our own last names

Families should have a single name for the parents and children. The tradition is the man's name, it's no big deal. But if they want to take the bride's name or negotiate a neutral name, that's fine too.

Hyphenated names are stupid except in cultures where it was a tradition, like some Latin cultures.

Yeah that makes sense.

I would take his name. When you get married you form a new family, and the family members should all share the last name. Sure, he could take my last name, but that would be weird. It's about being practical for me.

Good answer, except that a man can't have his wife's last name, it's the woman who holds the husband's name

@TonyMetal___86 Who says a man can't have his wife's last name? Of course he can if that's what he wants and they both agree to it.

[TonyMetal___86]

In a church marriage he can't because a man lead and a woman follows...

[Opinion Owner]

@TonyMetal___86 Bullshit. There are coupes who had a church marriage and he took her name. There is no law saying people can't choose that and some do. No one can stop them. Its just uncommon, that's all.

[TonyMetal___86]

I don't know, maybe it differs from a country to another but for sure i'll never hold my future wife's name, it's her who will hold my name...

[Opinion Owner]

@TonyMetal___86 I didn't ask you what you would or wouldn't do, so I'm not sure why you fealt the need to tell me multiple times.

[TonyMetal___86]

Just stating my opinion, nothing more, are you bothered?

[Opinion Owner]

@Sweetsurprize Thank you for MHO!

@TonyMetal___86 You already stated your opinion in response to QA. Why did you feel the need to butt into my post and share your opinion again, multipe times? Yes, I'm bothered by people who behave badly. I suspect you are too, no?

[TonyMetal___86]

That's who i am, it's a question and answer, also giving opinions site...
If you're bothered just block me 🙂

Thanks 👍🏻

A man doesn't holds the last name of a woman cause a man leads and a woman follows so ofc if i get married, my future wife will hold my last name and we will become a family

[TonyMetal___86]

Tnx for the mho

[AviatorTom]

I know couples where she took his last name, and others where she kept her last name, and even others where she added his last name to hers, hyphenated.

[Pyrofox]

If we both had neat family names I'd throw out the idea of swapping last names.

[JackCarter]

That's such an outdated fashion
I prefer we stick to our names

[shortster]

I want to go to a four name system where you have a maternal last name and a paternal last name. The guy takes the girls maternal last name and the girl takes the guys paternal last name.

take his last name so i have no connection to my traumatic past.

[msc545]

I would never get married again under any circumstances for any reason.

[Sparkie460]

There was no question, she took my name willingly
