refusing to marry you because you won't change your name is quite possibly one of the stupidest things i've ever heard.

seriously, sarah.

I love your last name! It gives you so much character. I'm not convinced you should take a guys last name just cuz you marry them. I personally think that I will but just cuz I'm not a big fan of my last name. I do know a lady who took her husband's last name of Judy when her first name was also Judy...I think that's a clear cut version of when you shouldn't take their last name.

Hi!

My girlfriend won't take my name. Like I care. It's one of those things where guys were raised to believe this has to happen, and somehow get insulted if you don't take their name. It is an item that should be discussed, not assumed.
