Is making up bogeymen at every corner a hobby of yours or something? Who on earth is suggesting this? :sarcasticLet's just abandon all traditions and burn all religious books and string up every white hetero male on the planet and worship the woman and make her all powerful.
Is there any traditions not coming under attack?
I feel like a dinosaur breathing his last breath. Lord take me now! I don't want to live among the unbelievers any longer. The world has gone to hell in a hand basket.
Quibbling over a last name and disrespecting tradition is insulting to the traditional family. What is wrong with traditions?
Over the years this has caused problems in many families
It is often settled by turning it into a double barrelled name.
I like the old Spanish system where the children use both their parents family names and when married use their fathers and their husbands , it makes cousin relationships much clearer.
A wife uses her name first then her husbands
A daughter uses her fathers first then her mothers.
when she marries she drops the mothers name and adds her husbands.
Does anyone here come from a family that their father and mother are still married and have only been married once?

There's a certain pride in having a family name. It doesn't just belong to me, but to all of my ancestors all the way back to when the name was invented,
That's another reason for me. My husband's ancestry is important to me as well as him and as I have been joined with him; it is mine and my future children's ancestry.
I certainly would, but that would give me the same name as her brother, and I don't think she'd like that association!

I actually took my wife's last name and was chastized by all the males in my family. I hear it every time I go to family events. It's an ultimate blasphemy in latino families. Passing on your last name is a big deal.

What about your ancestry?
Ðanisty;821877 said:I would have a hard time imagining any LDS not honoring their ancestry regardless of what they do with their names. They've only got like the best genealogy records around.
So, now I pose the question to the men of RF: Would you change your last name to your wife's if she asked you to? And if not, what are your reasons? Would you expect her to change her last name to yours? Why, or why not?
