      I changed to his last name. Though, when it came time to go to the SS office and DMV, I didn't realize how attached I was to my last name. It was kind of hard, to be honest. I'm really proud of my maiden name and what it stands for...so I kind of went through a "mourning period"...I know it sounds goofy but I was really…

      I hate my last name (its boring and SUPER common) and I love BF's last name, its so unique and interesting and there is even a street in New Jersey that's named after his family - its very cool. I will without a doubt take his last name but I would do that even if his name was every bit as boring and lame is mine is. I can…

      This was something that I struggled with as I am in a similar situation. I have my Masters and will be getting my Ph.D in a few years. I have papers published in my name and have made quite a few talks also with my maiden name. My fiance said that he is completely fine with it and said that he would find it weird to have…

      I edited this to show that the inverse (almost) never happens and the reason is patriarchal traditions and sexist culture. There are probably very few people here who even personally know of a man who took his wife's last name. 99.99999% of the time, there is a mutual desire to share a family name, but there isn't serious…

      I see nothing wrong with that. That's a legal/paperwork/red tape issue that came up last minute and they did what they needed to do to sort it out. Like you said, PP, they didn't do the 'we've been married for a year, living and behaving as such, and now want a PPD' thing. That scenario doesn't bug me one bit. Why won't…

      yes, I also had a minor freak out when it came to changing my name. I do not know why, I just did. I ended up taking my maiden name as my middle name and dropped my old middle name, so I am Katie Old Last Name New Last Name

      My aunt J jacked her daughter AND son's first and middle names from what my aunt Z aaaaalways talked about naming her future kids. Aunt Z is forever bitter, but came up with new names later and named her kids the new names. Aunt J then named her dog the same name as aunt Z's dog. It became very obvious that aunt J is not…
