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]You said that most of your friends have one family name.  Are they all named "Smith"?  Okay, what you're saying is that you want your family to have the same last name as your extended family.  Then don't mention your friends in the same sentence.  I'm not the one being dumb here.[/quote]

The fact that a large majority of my friends' wives took their names backs up my point that I'm in a tiny minority of men whose wives didn't take their names. If we use the 8% number, then there are 11.5 men whose wives took their last names for every 1 that didn't.[/quote]Not arguing with your stats.  Arguing with the lack of clarity in your statement.  You said you want to have a family with one family name and said that your friends and your extended family have that situation so that's why I suggested changing your name to your wife's.  But now I realize that you don't really care about having one family name.  You care more about your family having *your* name.  And that's okay but don't get pissy at me because you were unclear and I took you to mean what you said - as opposed to what was in your head.

I'm sorry that you're in this situation. It sucks for you.  But you sure are feeling really sorry for yourself right now.[/quote]
