My wife uses her maiden name ... she asked me once we got married but I think I can never do that for anyone (change my name/identity); I would never ask her to do that for me. Besides her last name rhymes with a lot of words I can tease her all day.
No. I took his, despite loving my maiden, because he made a good case for us picking his name over mine. We wanted the same last name, so we'd both have the same and the same as our children. Which I certainly prefer.
I wish I would have. But back in the 70s I didn't know any better.
I am proud to say that I never have nor will I ever refer to myself as Mrs. Husbands name.
My oldest sister kept her maiden name, but she regrets it because she's tired of the people thinking they're living together. She's been with him for 20+ years and I'd think people would figure that out by now
No. A woman is not property. She can keep her maiden name, her family name, without it reflecting her feelings for her husband. I think someone who feels that way has a very shallow view of love.
I headdesked so hard when I saw that comment. My mother kept her maiden name and she's been happily married to my father for twenty-four years. I've never seen two people love each other as much as they do. Honestly, they're adorable.
