Looks like a family tree with very few branches....

Looks like she fell outta the Ugly Tree & hit every branch on the way down.

Most Hispanics have two surnames: one from their father and one from their mother but their parents must have two surnames too so siblings could end up with two different surnames. It must drive Social security and IRS crazy since they change the order of their surnames any time they wish.

And the women they married probably liked the idea of an emasculated man that wouldn’t enforce “the patriarchy” on them.

But some day, they’re going to need a MAN to act the ROLE of a man, and he isn’t what they married.

Exactly.

People are way over reacting here on this. In essence, he changed his name, something many men and women do all the damn time.

This is no big deal.

Did anyone say that it shouldn’t be “allowed” by law?

Yeah, any law prohibiting this is STOOOOOPID.

The comments are on the degradation of society and the emasculation of men.

t seems from the article that he named himself as a sign of respect to her Father, and something of a rejection of his own.This isn’t emasculation.

Thank you for injecting some sense into this. My husband has a nephew that refuses to use his dad's name and instead took his mother's maiden name because his PoS dad molested him and his sister while they were young. His dad is dead now, he was such a basket case and serial abuser that no one wanted to be around him, and he finally shot himself in head. I'd never say this in front of hubby...who, bless his tender heart, loved his brother in spite of all his faults and tried to help him recover many times...but I personally said good riddance. There are all kinds of good reasons to reject a lousy dad and therefore his name. It doesn't mean the man is emasculated.

Hispanics are big on hyphenated names. I've seen some babies baptized with names that weigh more than the baby.

They drop the peones names and keep the patrones names.

Geez, is her last name Beaverblaster or something?

One of my frat bros wanted to change his name and that was his final decision. We made him go to bed.

Oh, c'mon. She's no supermodel, but she's nowhere near ugly. IMO, she's pretty attractive, and has what appears to be a very nice figure:

I was commenting on the fact that she and her husband look an awful lot alike....

Eh, who cares?

It also doesn't make any sense to me when a wife takes her husband's name. An odd tradition, if you ask me.

Oh, just odd if you don't understand Western Judeo-Christian culture.

Does this give HIM the right to complain when the toilet seat is left up?

Think about it.

If you did just a little research, you'd find plenty of Christian, western countries where this is not done.

Yeah, the stupidest, yet most memorable sequence of the show.
