I would not have married a woman who would not take my last name.

one is a marriage, the other is simply a financial contract...

This was a big issue for women’s lib back in the day.

Hillary made waves in Arkansas in the ‘70s because she didn’t become Hillary Clinton when she married Bill.

They don’t want to take their husbands name because that implies the woman is property.

So she keeps her dads name.

Progressive women are upset with Amal Clooney for doing what she wants.

They do need to take all his money, though, in case of divorce.

One must have one's priorities straight.

I kept my maiden name.

So did my wife.

Fashion comes and goes. Women keeping their name was the fashion in the early 80's.

Women who use two last names are pains in the ass. They are special. They are high maintenance princesses. I don’t care which name they use, I just wish they would make up their minds (if they can) and settle on one name. Oh, and they can open their own damn door by themselves.

But if she keeps her dads name, doesn’t that imply the daughter is her dad’s property???

Then liberal females should not keep a maiden name because that surname came from a patriarchal system. Liberal females should change their last names, not due to marriage but to throw off the vestiges of patriarchy.

IMHO: Most women should take their husband's surname -- for simplicity, if nothing else. Women in well-established careers, where their name is already recognized by myriad people (I'm thinking high level doctors and businesswomen), if they want to keep their "maiden" name, it makes sense. I don't care for hyphens, but really don't care if a couple chooses that.

I do find it interesting, how much consternation this topic causes.

“I would not have married a woman who would not take my last name.”

Deal breaker for me, also.

I teach in an inner city high school. The girls put their last names on thier babies’ birth certificates. This way, baby mama gets all the Big Gov bennies and her baby daddy can throw some cash her way when he feels like it. The outcome? We are one generation away from inbreeding. Seriously. I had two sisters that, by their senior years, each had two sons. The father of both of the sisters’ first baby is the same guy. The father of both of the sisters’ second baby was the first father’s brother. Figure that out. One baby daddy is dead. I think the first.
