Ladies, would (or does) your husband or boyfriend let you keep your maiden name?

oh, hell no! i mentioned it to my husband and he threw a fit right there in the courthouse. he said, you don't take my name, i don't marry you"

I see no problem if I were married and my wife wanted to keep her maiden name.

I agree with the other person's answer that some people build their reputations around their name (maiden or otherwise).

BTW, who am I to tell a woman what to do with her name? "Let" her???? Pleeeeease!

The only topic with my wife that might be worth discussing regarding this subject would be the last name(s) of our child(ren).

It's not really his choice. It's the woman's decision and she may have valid reasons for it, especially if she has built her professional reputation under her maiden name. I think the best thing is when the couple discuss it and decide together.

Why would she even want to keep her maiden name? I know when I get married i'll take his name. It's just the way it's supposted to be!!

What's the difference between a close friend and boyfriend?

Well, a good friend of mine has a weird family. Her and her mother have her mother's name and her father and younger brother have her father's name. Depends on what you want...

I do what I want so if i want to keep my last name i keep my last name if i want my husbands name i take it my choice!

Actually, I wouldn't allow him to keep his name!!!

hahaha

It's a two-way street, kiddo.

Baby twin boy names?

ummm how is someone going to "let" you do something??

They can not like it all they want but they don't let you do or not do it!
