Pananana 2,284 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 For me I don't want to change my surname if ever I get married because it would be a lot of hassle to change my name in documents and I love my surname (because it's unique and only about 300 people in the world bears my surname). I just learned that our law didn't really say that we should take the men's name but it states that it depends on the couple if whose surname we should follow. Edit: I was asking this because my friend thought I'm crazy for not wanting the man's surname. I guess we are a long way for thinking that women don't have a choice other than taking the man's name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJJD 1,975 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 it depends on who has the better last name lol. i've always wanted my name to be an alliteration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimz 3,113 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Yes. I have a really Italian last name that literally no one can pronounce (even though it is pronounced exactly how it looks but everyone always gets it wrong) so if the person I marry has an easy to pronounce name I'm changing that shit fast.

Zack Morris 2,440 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Yes but only if it's A-H. I refuse to fall further down the alphabet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry 1,220 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Yes, it would make it more difficult for people from my past to find me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freya 7,202 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Nope. 1. It's a hassle 2. I want to keep my family identity. Our last names have history that I want to keep. 3. Only if we make it a hyphen joint last name. I like the idea of us taking each others names. It's a gesture that's worth the hassle imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multiFandomaf 440 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 hyphen joint last name here we come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeyhoney 153 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 No. I'm not gonna get used to being called something else. Plus I'm not going through the hassle of changing everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeTaS 3,372 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 no i think it’s stupid. Why do i have to change my last name and not him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueNose 2,767 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I prefer hyphen surnames. But that’s just a bias because my parents hyphenated theirs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repeat 1,397 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 No, it's been my name my whole life, it's a part of my identity, why should I change it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
begginforthread 869 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 No. And I wouldnt necessarily want her to take my name, but she can if she wants. If I ever even get married that is. The ceremony means nothing to me, its purely a financial thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal glow 6,196 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Maybe? Depends which one sounds nicer I guess. Knowing my lazy ass, I probably won't bother because then I'll have to change my name officially for everything and that's annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jstarfully 798 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 My mum and I are the only people in the world with our surname. I've looked into it and would probably take it on as a hyphenated or middle name, and use them differently in different situations. It doesn't help that I don't really like the sound of my boyfriend's last name with my first name haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego ista 1,344 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Maybe I’ll hyphen it but I like my last name so not likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanilla Cupcake 3,584 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Yes, but I'm lazy. There are so many documents, banks, government docs, just such a hassle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdm 13,010 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Yes cause I hate my surname. No-one pronounces it properly and it sounds really ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AriNoona 1,149 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I think it’s dumb to change your name and identity because of a man. My sister changed her name when she got married and had to go to the expense and inconvenience of changing all her identity documents and her signature. And then when they got divorced a few years later she had to do it all again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderwall 267 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Definitely, I like the idea of becoming a family unit (and sharing the same last name with my kids). My last name is also hella long and difficult to pronounce, and there are other men in the family who can still pass it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joon 8,222 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I did. My surname was ugly. I was happy to take my husbands name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom Rose 6 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 There's a high chance her last name would be better than mine, so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
