No. I would actually be more in favour of BOTH OF THEM adopting a hyphenated name that uses both their last names. Just to make sure that each are being treated equally, and all.

I don't think it's inappropriate at all. Should I ever get married, I think I might keep my family name. It wouldn't be a slight against my husband or his family, but as a tribute to my own.
When I was a kid, I didn't want anything to do with my family. I was always known as my brother's sister, or as my parents' daughter. I hated being called by my last name. If someone ever did, I'd say "I'm not my family, I'm Erin!" What made things even worse for me as a kid was from 1st grade through high school, there was always at least one other Erin or Aaron in every class. So my last name had to be used, which irked me even more.
In my adulthood, my perspectives have changed greatly. I now take pride in my family name and have a great deal of respect for my family. Yes, I still prefer to be called Erin, but my family name is important to me too.
This is the reason I'd keep my maiden name in marriage. Taking my husband's name and giving up my own would seem like a continuation of the resentment I felt as a kid. If my husband felt strongly enough about it, I would be willing to hyphenate my name. But I will never give up my own family name.

I think it's just odd. I always thought you automatically got the husband's last name, and then I found out I was wrong. If I love the guy, why wouldn't I want his last name? I don't know if I can say it's inappropriate, just not right for me.

I took my husband's last name; Muslim women don't have to and they have not since Islam began; however, the children take their dad's name. The Muslim woman even after marriage is allowed to keep her own identity.

Well I'm not sure if i really find it inappropriate, but it's just right, why wouldn't they want to do that? I would be proud to take my husbands last name, would make me feel like i am truly his!

You have very weird questions... this one I have to say is inappropriate... women should take their husbands name tho if they want to keep there name like for example-
Lee Anne Werner marries Bob Joel Hunter and Lee wants some of her name still then she can go by Lee Anne Werner Hunter... I'll probably do that.

I find it weird, women suppose to have their husband's last name, since is their property from now on.

ABSOFUCKENLUTELY NOT, Times are a'changing sweetie. We don't have to run around bare foot and pregnant either. Didn't you get the telegram??
Seriously though, I am not taking my husbands last name. I have my own career and my own identity and choose not to change it!

I think its weird, but then who am I to judge. I was so excited to take my husband's last name when we got married! I was proud to take his last name. I'm from the old school though. I just think the bond is stronger the "old" way. Color me silly I guess...Have a fantastic weekend! Annie

No, not inappropriate, more like choice. I respect their choice, however for myself I am really proud to carry my husbands last name.
