[Vitamin-X]

^ Are you sure that's a good idea?

I get this picture in my head of a game of twister played with the alphabet.

Well i usually just put down m first name and my dads last name, i dont really put anything else, cuz its long but i enjoy having a tongue twister name hahaha this girl used to tell ppl if they pronounced my full name properly she'd give them 10 bucks and no one ever did hahaha it was quite the funny actually......

besides i dont mind having both parents last name my baby has both parents last name too

PWHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! Best answer yet.


But no really, girl should just do as she wishes. It's definatley her choice, not his.

[LiveOnJim]

I shouldn't depend on how well it sounds are you marrying him or his name? Me i would keep my name and take his, regardless of how it sounds

[Veni*C]

id keep mine.. its cause its my moms last name and i am the only one left really with her last name.. so ya... i guess its just a personal thing...

My mom kept her last name, but we both got our dad's.

On an interesting note, she was first married @ 19 and kept her maiden name, then when she married again at around 35 she took his. She said it was because she wasn't insecure anymore or something.

Me, if I love someone enough to marry them and be with them forever, I would want to take their name. I think it's kind of romantic.

[Disco_Whore]

I'd take his name as my middle name since I don't have one.

My mother kept hers, my sister gave up hers. Do watchya want. It's not hurting anybody is it?

I'd kind of like my wife to keep her name so I can use it for my first daughter. Mainly cuz I really like the name Rebecca and don't want her going through life being "Becky Leckie"

That would be a neat tradition if daughters kept their mother's name and sons kept their father's name.

[Séguin]

That is a neat idea

it sort of works out like that in the portuguese tradition.

where the families matriarchal lineage gets passed down as a secondary last name.

for example...

James Arthur Viera McCaughran III

ya dig it?

[cheeseburger]

hahahhahahahha

[Gusto]

i want her to take my name so it's kind of a pain in the ass to divorce me and change it back.

[Disco_Whore]

^But they don't always change it back when they divorce. Example: Tina Turner.

edit: You're better off convincing her that tatooing your name on her ass means true love.

[Cool-Water]

id have a talk to my woman and we would choose our own last name!!

i'd never marry tina turner.

[mapleleaf4ever]

I'd be honoured if she took my last name. If she hyphenates, that's cool too.

Either way she's still married to me and that's what matters.

[-evil-duerr-]

by the time I'm married I'm gonna be insanely rich and even more handsome.

So she basically has no choice but to take it.

[diva]

I'd take the husband's last name, but ask him if we could use my last name (Dickson) for our children's middle name.

[galaxie]

I want to keep my name.
I told my man that I would compromise and hyphenate, but that I would go by my last name still, and he's not too happy about it.
And the kids will have his last name. No hyphenating for the children. Plus our names would sound foolish together.
