[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My comment was snarky yes but I really see that as the defining aspect of it being my family vs just a baby daddy.

If the wife doesn't have my name and the kids don't have my name, the who the hell am I?[/quote]

The love and devotion of a child transcends mere names.[/quote]

Cute.. wouldn't help the fact that my kids names would remind me that my wife doesn't respect me as a man and I apparently have no respect for myself either in this scenario[/quote]Wow. Okay, I'm sorry to sound mean but that suggests you have real problems with feelings of inadequacy.  It makes me worry for you.  And I really mean that - I'm not trying to be rude.[/quote]

I assume this was sincere so I'll respond

Wouldn't a woman who is so attached to her last name that she couldn't imagine changing it for her husband or family also have feelings of inadequacy?

I feel fine about myself. I just hate the idea of marrying a woman who insists on belittling me by giving me no recognition for my status as a husband or father in terms of how our kids are named. Luckily I'm already married, but yeah I would 100% dump any woman who would not give my last name to our kids.

It's not that my name is that important -- it's that I don't want to broadcast to the world that my wife forced me into a humiliating arrangement that 99.9% of men don't have to put up with.  Since I have options as a man in the dating market, j never have to worry about this happening though.[/quote]
