Wedding and Name changes
Earlier in the week, I posted about diamond rings, this thime it is about wedding and name changes. Over at Metafilter [via Kottke], there is an ongoing coversation about name changes after wedding. It is interesting that over 80% of the comments supported not changing the wife’s surname to her husband’s. I always thought that a compound name would be cool but my wife not taking my name, I am not sure I will be too pleased. I will probably get over it but c’mon Mr and Mrs MyName sounds better than Mr Myname and Mrs Hername.
Another 15% said that the male kids will get the father’s name and female kids will get the mother’s name. That is not just unacceptable.
If you happen to marry spainish person, the name change will be even more interesting.
Am I being old fashioned here? I was slightly comforted by this comment.

I don’t think i’d marry a woman who wouldn’t take my surname. I’m getting her mood swings, poor map reading and minus 8 years life expectancy…it’s the least she can do.
They say all a man has is his word, name and balls. I’m giving up none. (Far too painful…)
Here’s a thought: why don’t both the man and woman keep their names thus avoiding the issue of who will take whose name?
Why should my name change when I get married? I would never have to do it if i was getting married back home(Spain)? i know Remi wants me to take his surname but… what about my family history??????
