[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lesbian here — I took my wife's name, and I love it. I really wanted the whole family to have the same last name. I still get a little thrill every time I sign it – but being prevented from getting married for 15 years can do that to you, so possibly not the same situation. :-) In any case, it really does simplify traveling and stuff with our kids.

Change your name if you can do it[b] as an act of love and commitment towards your family.[/b] Don't do it if you feel like you have to, because you definitely don't.[/quote]

This is my view as well. We are a single family unit and I want all of our last names, including mine, to reflect that. I'm so happy to have married into my DH's family line and I am proud to have my name reflect that. Other people's choices are equally valid and should be made for their own reasons that they feel strongly about. I don't get the judgement on this issue.[/quote]

So you aren't your parents' daughter?

He isn't happy to be married into your family?

I can see changing your name, but OMG at your reasons for doing it.[/quote]

And I threw up in my mouth a little bit at "family line."  Is this medieval Europe?[/quote]
