I am not a man, but may I offer another perspective on it?
I seriously don't understand all the chest thumping about it. I also don't see why you shouldn't keep your own last name if that is what you want to do. Why does he have an objection to it? It is a pain in the a** to have to go through all the trouble of changing your name. Maybe if men had to do it, they wouldn't be so adamant about women doing it. I think it is the whole "my property" thing coming into play.

It's not that big of deal. I've been married for 14 years. She legally hyphenated her name to add mine, but uses only her maiden name day to day. We have two daughters (7 & 12) who share both names but go by her name at school. I'm closer to her family than I ever have been to mine. The name thing has never been an issue. If anything I should have taken her name.

I don't get it... my brother didn't want his own last name...he went with using our mom's maiden name. I don't know about the big deal. like the one fellow said... hyphenating names for kids is a mess. I know many professional that go by the maiden name to avoid confusion and anyone see movie stars? They do it all the time.. not talking the name in public. My dad's name was his last name and his mother's maiden name was his 'middle' name.

I kept my name and we've been married 12 years. He knew I wasn't changing it before we got married- I hate his name and to be honest I'm not fond of his family!! I don't want to be associated with any of them!
Do you marry a woman just to change her name or because you love her?? The name is not that big of a deal.

I am a traditionalist BUT I am flexible. If she wanted to hyphonate her last name and my last name I could except that. If she did not want my last name at all then I would seriously consider the relationship and weigh all the pros and cons.

Slightly. It also seems like a choice to maintain some undue distance, and could even be a logistical problem in some instances.

I think a woman should assume her husbands last name however in my case She divorsed me and the Judge said she could keep it wereas I feel she divorced me and should return to her maiden name, and not allowed to remain with mine,

No. Name is not important.
Only problem would be when the children are born and Moms has a different name.
