I'm not going to hyphenate fuck that.
I'm taking her last name. I'm close with her family so it's cool with them. I'm changing my middle name to my grandpa's last name. I always thought my middle name was super stupid anyway.

My wife's father wanted me to take my wife's last name. I told him "that's not going to happen."
Nothing wrong with the whole act but unless my wife has a boy my last name will perish. As of now, I am the last with my last name.

Should a women keep her name or take his. If that's okay then what's wrong with him taking hers .
I'm taking her last name my last name is from my father who I haven't seen in 25 years or so.
It's free so I changed my middle name too.

I don't think many men would choose to take their wife's last name, kind of degrading.

Me too. I only have a daughter. She will be the last one. It is one of the most common last names in the country but I'm an only son of an only son.

Lots of males in my family. I was the first to pass on my last name to my son nearly a year ago, followed closely by my cousin who also had a son with our last name (born 19 days apart). Now hopefully my brother and other cousins get some chick knocked up and they all have boys with my last name and soon we will take over the town.... Then the world.
Here's an interesting family tidbit. My birthday is April 16 and my uncles is the 15th. My grandma's b day is October 2, my father's is the 3rd and my son's is the 6th. And I believe my other uncles is almost on the same date as my cousins. All on one side of the family. It seems like our family is only fertile on certain dates.
Bang bang what's the hang.

This is probably old fashioned but if I knew a man took his wife's name I'd laugh on the inside. If she refused his name I'd think it was a fake marriage.

What about my situation she didn't refuse to take mine. Besides in Sweden it's common for the man to take the women's last name.
I mean have you seen Swedish women .

I mean I'm not a Swede so I don't know much about their culture Regardless, if I knew you took her last name I'd laugh inside - sorry. Every single marriage I know of where the wife didn't take the husband's last name failed - quick. Not that it matters - but an interesting correlation.

In Japan, it is common for the man to take the last name if the wife's family had no male children. I think they commonly pay the guy for this.
I can see women keeping their last name for professional purposes.
My last name is Czech and it starts with "Stud" I'm keeping that. Even my sister had that for a nickname in High school. So that was my name for about 9 years then I went to college when I was 23, and lost that name for several years. All of a sudden my dishwashing partner was guy who knew me from the old days so I had that name for another 7 years.

I don't really care one way or the other. My last name is uncommon, everyone in the US who has it is either my brother, parents, and I, or one of a few distant cousins who I share a great great uncle with. It's pretty neat researching lineage on my dad's side, and even though he doesn't say it, I think my dad is secretly glad my brother is carrying the torch and dead set on having a kid in the near future.
The only thing that will sway my decision is(of course, this may or may not change) how nice my name sounds with my spouse's last name vs hyphenated or my own.

I think it all depends on the sentimental and aesthetic value, as well as maintaining family values for the little ones. I don't care who takes who's name, or if they do at all, but they should consider it if they're having kids(so they don't feel 'different' and feel like part of a family). Wifey has taken my name for two reasons. One being she doesn't get along well with her family, and because she thinks it sounds better. It makes us feel more like a family as well.

What constitutes "refusal"? My wife and I got married later on in middle-age (both of us having been married once before, too young, and things didn't work.) We were both well established in our careers, her a little bit more prominently in her field than me. When we were talking about wedding plans, name was a topic that came up, and we looked into what it would take if she were to have taken my last name. Aside from the usual social security and driver's license stuff, there's also 3 professional organizations, security credentials for multiple workplaces, the hassle of explaining to publishers and presentation committees that "yes, you can still use my old name for marketing reasons", etc. Neither one of us wanted to put up with that gigantic fuck-around, so she kept her name; mutual decision.
