I would not. Like that other guy, I would not date a hard-core feminist like that. I don't like the idea of hyphenated names either. Good night!

It sounds good and I see it happening in the future. They should give married couples the option of which name to take. I almost married a guy with a weird last name, Brokenhead,and I thought about us carrying my last name. I'm so glad I didn't, he ended up being a jerk!!!
But in today's world, the tradition has always been to take on the guys last name - and more and more I see the girls maiden name hyphenated and then the guys last name.

I would either like him to keep his own name and me keep mine, or possibly to be hyphenated (although that gets too complicated). I feel really uncomfortable about taking my boyfriend's last name, I feel like I'm giving up myself and my connection to my family, but he wouldn't be giving up anything. I want to be recognized by family friends and people from my childhood...why would I destroy my identity to become someone else's property? If it's about respect, why doesn't the man show any respect to his wife? I don't think I would want him to take my family's last name because then people would think he is blood related to my relatives when he isn't. Obviously, it is 'feminine' to give up your own interests and identity for the good of the "marriage". I honestly don't see myself changing my name. I've thought about it for a long time, and the idea of losing my identity makes me feel kind of sick. I imagine it would make a man feel just as sick! I'm going to keep my name, and I'm sure he'll keep his...I just don't know what we'll do about last names for any possible kids!!

I don't like that idea at all. I guess I just like how it's tradition for the woman to take the man's name. I'm excited about the day I get married and get to change my name to my husband's name. I wouldn't let him have my name if he wanted it!

I'm female and would never ask a man to take my last name, nor will I take his last name unless I hyphenated it. When I got married, he wanted me to take his last name, I wanted to keep my last name, so we compromised and I hyphenated it. He kept his last name only, and I kept my last name plus took his.

When I was in college, I met two men who did just that. They were both professors, and took their wives' last names. One of them hypenated his name, putting his last name first and adding hers after the hypen.

She'd never ask, because there's no way I'd ever DATE a girl who would ask something stupid like that, much less consider marrying her. Women who demand the guy take her last name (or hyphenate both) are insufferable harpies.

I like that idea. I would like to be able to keep my last name.

Well this all depends? How weird of a last name does he have? If his last name is dick or something equally as odd ball then, hell yes lets take my last name.
