Thanks.

You could make the case that the traditional way of doing things is inherently possessive. If all of society realized this simultaneously and changed the norm of women changing their names, I wouldn't insist on it. It just bugs me to be in the 2% of men who don't have this.

It is a shame to me that [b]most of my friends and all of my extended family have one family name and I don't. [/b][/quote]Look, if that's what bothers you, why not take her name and give the kids her name?

I kept my own name but I don't have issues with other people changing theirs if that's what they want to do.  I can see why you'd want one name for your family.  But it is within your means to fix that.  Change your name.  If you think it shouldn't bother her to change hers, why should it bother you to change yours?  Good luck with this - sounds like a nagging problem for you.[/quote]

This was either a dumb response or a troll.

I'm the only "Smith" whose wife didn't take his last name and your idea is to feel better about that by being the only "Smith" to give up his name completely? Funny[/quote]
