Wow you're getting a lot of bad information here.
You can do whatever you want. Look at it this way: if you are willing to deal with the paperwork and the administrative costs, you can go change your name tomorrow to be Whifflebat P. Frankfurter. I don't recommend it, but you can. So why on earth would you not be allowed to take your wife's name?
You can both keep your name. You can take her name, she can take your name. I even know a couple who just picked a random name they both liked, and they both changed to that. Which is very fair, albeit a pain. There are no laws saying who has to do what to their name when you get married, contrary to a lot of the advice you are getting here.

You can change your name if you want to, I am sure a women will be freaked out by this, so you should change it now. Just find a last name that you like which sounds good to you.

I don't know about your state, but when we filled out our marriage license (Minnesota) they had a place for both bride and groom's name after marraige. (first, middle, and last) I dropped my middle name, replaced it with my maiden name, and took my husband's last name.
Another practice that seems to be gaining some popularity is to create a new last name by combining the two last names together... like, maybe Smith and Johnson = Smithson. Davis and Smith= Davith. (or something like that)

thats depends on u and ur future wife, if she is agree to take her last name, then u will have that names. but is to bad there will be no more ur generations after. SO 4 me even thoug bad or gud all names are same. The most important is u r a gud persons and u make ur wife and ur kids proud of u whatever ur name is.

You can do whatever you want man... yours, hers, keep it seperate, do the hybrid thing, or get really creative. You could even just give the baby a new last name differnet from both of yours. whatever you like man. BUT, I'm one of those traditional kinda guys with this kinda thing - its worked for all those years before now so why not just roll with it...

Absolutely, Dude!! It happened in my home town!! This lady had a really cool last name (like Peace) and her fiance had a name like Finkelgiankoskinovich, and he became Tom Peace. Go for it dude, this IS the 21st century.

You can change your name --- it requires paperwork but it can be done ---- You can even give your baby a different last name --- it's up to you and your future Mrs.
