Why don't you come up with a fusion of your two names and change it to that ?

It's unique, you're a family, both keep a part of their name !

And they don't necessarily goes hand in hand too. Just because he's an hypocrite regarding this issue doesn't automatically mean that he views women as less important than him.

Insisting the woman had to lose her name because she's the woman is sexist. It's saying she has to be the one to compromise cause she's the woman. Please explain how that is not sexist.

We're taking her mother's maiden name. That's pretty novel, ey?

Don't care personally. My fiancee said she was going to take my last name. I even asked her if she was sure and that I didn't care if she did or not.

We marry, she takes my name.

Simple as that.

This. Thankfully my wife is as old fashioned as me when it comes to stuff like this, So there wasn't really any need to debate or insist as I wouldn't do that if she wanted to keep her name.

It was when I was 27 and more selfish, but not so much now 10 years later. I realize now I was being silly about the whole thing.

Here in Québec no one does that anymore.

They couldn't even if they wanted to: it's illegal.

Section 393 of the Code civil du Québec:

« Chacun des époux conserve, en mariage, son nom; il exerce ses droits civils sous ce nom. »
"In marriage, both spouses retain their respective names, and exercise their respective civil rights under those names."
