"Not unless it's cooler."
Pretty much says it all.

Fiona Flynn sounds more like a superhero's secret identity.

If the kids take the dad’s last name the name runs out either way

In our Vietnamese culture, we get to keep our last names. Traditionally, however, people will then start referring to you as Mrs. “Husband’s first name” 😂

[RareGrooving]

In Ethiopian culture we keep our fathers name regardless of marriage

I retained my surname. My Grandfather asked me to keep it & I'm not going to break a death bed promise. It's also the first gift my parents gave me other than life. My husband knew this long before we married. Been married 32 years & still feel very married.

“I’m devoted to my husband in every way possible…. Just not that way.”
Thanks for clearing that up, Meatloaf.

“In every way possible.”
“But taking his last name IS a possible way.”
“In every way possible except his last name.”
“So…NOT in every way possible.”

It’s actually very cute Michael is talking to them like a sweet adult would talk to a 5 year old 😂

sharing your last name with your spouse demonstrates that y’all are a family, and not just a couple.

As someone married to a Spanish national I see this argument as very short-sighted. Not every country has the custom of the woman taking on her husbands

[MrDlt]

I married an Italian woman and they more or less keep their last name as a middle name. That way, the family name never really comes to an end.

My husband gave me a plaque that he recieved from his father... on our wedding day:
You got it from your father,
it was all he had to give.
So it's yours to use and cherish
for as long as you may live.
If you lose the watch he gave you,
it can always be replaced.
But a black mark on your name, son,
can never be erased.
It was clean the day you took it,
and a worthy name to bear,
when he got it from his father,
there was no dishonor there.
So make sure you guard it wisely,
after all is said and done.
You'll be glad the name is spotless when you give it to your son.

When you listen to how superficial the last name is discussed here.. it's sad. Marriage is a serious undertaking for a man and a woman. I love my father and was honored to carry his name as his daughter... but my husband's name is a gift of tremendous value that I'm privileged to make my own. And I'm reminded every time I'm called by it of the responsibility of conducting myself in a manor deserving of his name.
We're being stripped of every tradition that holds intrinsic value within our culture. It makes me so incredibly sad.

“I wanna keep my fathers last name, it’s really important”

“……unless his last name is like really cool”

I can’t be the only one who heard that idiocy

[PH-pqvq]

In Italy women keep their surnames it's not even easily possible to change your surname

[DetectiveRaven]

I see no problem with them keeping their last names. Some guys have fragile egos, clearly.

I feel lucky as hell to be a millennial and also be married to a great trad millennial woman. They are rare!

[NenaJRB]

In Puerto Rico we don’t change our last name when we get married. Sometime culture plays a role in not wanting to change our last name

[CMM]

My husband had a fiancé before me who made it clear she would not take his last name and wanted him to take hers. She also thought she could beat him up bc she was in the military (as is absurd bc he’s 6’1” and really big and strong and she was tiny). He wanted a traditional Marriage like his grandparents. She ultimately cheated and it was over. When I told him I thought that was ridiculous and would love to take his last name he was really happy to hear it. Tomorrow is 18 years together.

[AnInsaneTaco]

Aside from tradition, this argument is a giant nothing burger. Hispanics use both parents for their last names, it's whatever. Choose which name you want to go with it's not that deep.
