I would most likely take my husband's last name...because I don't care. Taking his name doesn't erase my identity or my family history, so why make a big thing out of it? I also believe women should do as they want, depending on what feels best to them. Some people have great reasons for keeping their maiden names. I knew a woman who if she took her married name...it would have really inappropriate connotations. Her first name is Anita...

Perfectly understandable. Everyone else in my family has upheld to traditional values in this arena.

However, I just don't feel it's fair at all to judge everyone else's ideas as liberal nonsense just because it's not in line with your own opinion.

And, for the record as well, I most certainly don't mind at all being automatically counted out of the running as Mrs. Utah.

But, best wishes in your search to find who is.

That's funny; I said elitism, and you responded by saying liberal nonsense. I like how you put the two together, and correctly so, even though I myself did not mention the word liberal in my post.

And as far as being counted out of the running as Mrs. Utah, I'm glad we both agree on that.

Day one of a three month internship and I met a guy with a hyphenated last name. I made the mistake of saying, "Hey, why do you have a hyphenated last name? Did your mother marry, divorce then remarry?" His snarky response was: "I took my wife's last name, thank you." I knew it was going to be a long three months.

I voted women should change their name. Every other choice is liberal pukism (except the pie).

When I used the word "liberal", I was quoting your original post.

I just chose not to use the word "pukism."

And, it's always nice to agree on something. :)

That's what keeps the Singles Forum such a harmonious place. :p

Besides. Everyone knows that if I got married, I would ask that he take the last name of "Rhode-Island" instead of "Utah."

Respectfully, posh is another name for elitism.

And for the record, Mrs. Utah takes my last name or she doesn't become Mrs. Utah.

And observing certain cultural traditions while judging those who opt out is another form of elitism.

Technically, it's not hyphenated, but what about Manfrenjensenden?

That would be a cool last name.

Hello dudes and dudettes!

At work today, I saw a memo in which one of my male coworkers who had married a few months back notified our boss and the HR department that he had changed his last name so that it was hyphenated as hisname [hyphen] hername.

Now, I know it's pretty common for women who marry these days to hyphenate their names, but it is more rare for a man to do this when marrying. What are your thoughts on this?

I don't think so, bro. Changing his last name does not make him any less manly than those who do not. On the other hand, it makes him courageous. I think the guy has made a brave decision. Whether the rest of us accept it or not, I feel that he has to be commended for taking a bold stand and "going against the tide".

There's nothing to apologise for, brother. I'm just saying he's not an unsavoury character.

In the Bible they didn't have last names, they had names of cities. Jesus of Nazareth.... Saul (Paul) of Tarsus... John of Patmos... Mary & Martha of Bethany... Joseph of Arimathea... I'm Violet of Philadelphia. :eek:

I'm sure that's what his wife said when she told him that he has to take her name.

I agree, I'm rather savory. Quite spicy, actually. No, more sour. Yes. definitely sour.

I guess that would make me Nuke Sour-Pooch?
