-- TA girls: Would you take the last name of your husband?
Pages (6): « 1 2 [3] 4 5 6 »

i would definately take my (future)husbands name, my (future)kids would too. i just don't think it would be right if i kept my own.

Originally posted by bubbleravegirl ive heard of couples who decide to do away with each other's last names, and take on a totally different one altogether. hmm imagine what the parents must think lol

One of my aunts did that with her husband.

My very very steeped in tradition old-school Dutch grandparents were not pleased. At all.

I'm just happy my grandmother convinced my granddad to take her last name, and she of course kept hers. The kids got her last name too. Otherwise I'd end up with a pretty stupid last name.

My wife will not keep her surname

i like my name, it's part of my identity and I will always keep it. I don't want children so i won't answer the other question.

Just curious - what happens after a divorce ? Does the woman get her old last name back ?

hee hee hee.

men.

dood, if she wants to keep her name she will.

In my field of work I have to keep my last name but only on the professional basis. I will change my name on sin card and such.

again, the girl can choose what she wants to do.

she can keep her last name the same for her kids sakes but most women go back.

some ppl keep it (to maintain the same family name to keep it unified) whereas some ppl go back or get remarried and take a new one

that sounds nice.

Originally posted by VERTiG0 Yeah. I'd be pretty upset if she wanted to hyphenate it or something. It's like it isn't good enough for her. Fuck that noise.

you are not being very nice in this statement.

why does her name have to totally disappear, is it not good enough?

but as it goes, you can never decide like this unless you are actually getting married.

Originally posted by Jayx1 Pretty valid question I'd say. Would you take his family name or keep yours? If yes which name would your kids have? And then which name would your grandkids have?

i have three kids and the first has my last name and the second has the fathers and my third has both! So it can be a complex situ- if both parents are from two different cultures. If there's a decision to be made i wish you better luck than i had!

id keep my last, i dont want kids so that answers that question. hypothetically speaking,,,, if i did have a kid,, the last name would depend, i think i have a pretty good last name... but if the person i marry has a nicer one then,, theyd get that one.

Me too! LOL..I'm the only Angelina Mandol you'll EVER know...guaranteed. It's nice to be unique. Which you are, Kelly! In a good way of course

But I'm a traditional gal....I'd take the man's name. That's how I feel now anyway....who's to say how I'll feel when the time comes...

Originally posted by Jayx1 no way! Its important to keep tradition and family name. Id maybe be willing to comprimise by having her keep her last name but definately not with the kids. No hyphens or funny stuff there.

exactly, and its a big compromise.

since when do women have rights ?!? (hahahah ok its a joke don't flame me! )

for the women
wouldn't it be nice for your son's kids to have your surname? (if you took the husbands name)

for me I'd prefer she takes mine, but the kids pretty muc hhave to

quote:

Originally posted by bass drive for the women wouldn't you like your grandchild to have your surname? (if you took the husbands name)

I would think that would be my children's decision as to how they want to name their kids.

im also old fashioned and would expect to take my husbands last name.

My nephew took both, his mothers first, then his fathers
its Bryce Anthony Giroux-Brasz

And whut would said last name be habibi

Originally posted by Tordan I agree. As for my wife's last name, I'd rather she took mine so my parents don't throw a fit. But I have no problems with her hyphenating as long as the kids have my last name.

Pretty much my opinion.

Actually in some cultures, (I know in Korean culture) wives keep their maiden name. I don't know why some cultures put tremendous importance on wives taking their husbands' names. After all, it is the love that is most imporant, no?

And those of you who said depends on whether the name sounds nice or not, do you not think that's kinda shallow? Are you going to be a cooler person because you have a cool sounding last name?

Originally posted by Carney i pitty the girl that gets stuck with my last name

hah, ditto...actually, I'd just feel really bad for her.

i dont understand these "modern" women ... you think you're so smart all of a sudden so you start changing the way something that has been done for all these years ... whats next, women wearing suits and men wearing wedding dresses at the weddings ... i find women keeping their last names ridiculous and complicated ... old fashion way or no way, for me at least

i see my serbian brothers and sisters think the same ... i am glad at least we wont have problems with this

My boyfriends last name is Lindsay, and that happens to be my first name !! So if we get married, I will defintily stay Linzie Fair.....and not Linzie Lindsay, lol.

That is a dilemma right there! LOL!

Come on, Jay- dont u think she should bend the rules?

In Spain, I believe it goes first name- fathers surname- mothers maiden name. Unless I have it backwards?

Some women just like their last names so much they keep it. Such is not the case for me. I was ready to change it legally to my grandmothers maiden name, til I met Graham. I think I can wait a bit (& save the $ in fees) to become a McCullagh. Tho, part of me feels weird losing my obviously Jewish last name, to an Irish one, and I consider hyphenating, but then I remember how tainted the name is now (an albatross, as my dad would say), & then I think 'good riddance'. Also, I just found out my 32 yr old brother proposed to his girlfriend yesterday- I hope she keeps her last name- no one should take ours.
