I’m just wondering about whether or not I want to take my boyfriends last name when we get married... it doesn’t really go with my name and I’m not sure how to talk to him about it, we’ve talked about getting engaged this year so I’m just wondering whether it’s a big deal or not?

Absolutely not! My last name I wouldn't wish on anyone. Also marriage has become shitty.

If taking his name is outdated then so is marriage.

I would care. It's very important to me. Shows family unity under one name.

Nope, with my last name, I wouldn't be surprised. My kids however, get mine.

Unless you are a movie star celebrity type I don't see a reason to have a different last name

What the hell do I care what name she has as long as she is still crawling into bed with me at the end of the day

For me it’s a huge deal. Dealbreaker? I don’t know. Possibly. It really depends on the guy.

I guess it doesn’t matter but I’m kinda old school why wouldn’t she want to? I know people don’t but why?

A thousand times NO but it is a nice thing when the ladies takes up the man’s last name.

Honestly i wouldn't want take him last name as a woman

Guys; would you care if your wife didn’t take your last name? (Page 2)
