Well duh you want to take your husband’s last name. Who wouldn’t want to be associated with the Muffler Man??

Old white men yell at things.

It doesn’t hurt that Clinton and Richards are about 19x smarter than anyone else in the room.

For some reason I will watch this movie anytime it’s on, and it’s exactly what I thought of when I read this.

My god. Please let this be how I die.

I was totally going to change my name... until about a month before the wedding and then I was like... that’s too much hassle and I really like my name. I’d had it for 25 years. I got clingy lol.

And don’t worry about being single and pondering about this. It’s always good to know your opinions if you can. I also find…

Oh my god there's my Halloween costume for this year - femme bot

I am/was in the same situation, so I kept my name & my husband is/was more than supportive. Now that we are thinking about kids we are not sure what to do, as my husband doesn’t love the idea of hyphenation... We shall see.

I’d like to see more matrilineal naming. I mean, why not? Couldn’t it be a tradition in some families, especially to highlight significant or meaningful lineage? I know a woman who kept her surname while her husband kept his name. When the son was born, he got the mom’s surname, no hyphens or anything. Her surname is…

I was a genie in the 3rd grade and I was really upset that people didn’t fall over themselves all day to tell me how beautiful I was. Because I tell you.. I looked just exactly like Jeanie!

My mother once got upset when I pointed out my partner and I will never have kids (so no passing on any names there) and that my sisters might change their surnames, or their (if they have them) kids might take a father’s or partner’s name - then she remembered that our surname is Smith and no one gives a damn :P

I dressed up as King Midas with a gold toga, gold sparkly leaf crown. I painted my fingernails gold and covered them in find gold dust. Apparently people at the club have never head of “the golden touch” or King Midas. I eventually started telling people I was Zeus. People are so dumb

It’s how I want to go.

I did the same thing when I went as Martha Washington...

...like a moth to the flame...there are worse ways to go.

For a friend.

Haha I actually don't think there was a wig involved besides the gold head wig thing

I went as bride of frankenstein one year and NO ONE GOT IT. I mean to be fair, the “dress” was just a ripped up old fairy dress costume (it was meant to look ratty! Like a bridal dress from beyond the grave!), but I had the whole black wig with white stripes which should be iconic enough. COME ON PEOPLE.

I wonder this about my brothers, who are the only males in my generation of the family. Do they feel pressure to keep the name going, since there’s only them to do it? (Assuming the rest of us get married/change our last names, which is of course not a guarentee.)
