[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=MrUnreal]My wife took my name and I am glad she did. I did not require it, my wife wanted to. She is a very strong independent woman and I don't think it really mattered to either of us. [b]However, I will state that I am the only male left and if I did not continue my family name (German heritage) it would likely die with me[/b] and for that reason I am glad she decided to take my name. We never had a discussion or anything.

PP, maybe because it is important to one person or they don't mind either way.

Honestly, if sitting a day at the DMV is the biggest of your worries then who gives a care. It doesn't seem like all that much effort to me and I don't see why you would be so biased against taking your husband's last name. If tradition was that I take my wife's last name and I wasn't morally opposed to it for whatever reason, then I would've changed it. It sounds like a non-issue to me and not sure why there has to be a debate about it (other than the feminist belief in displacing any tradition seemingly in any male's favor).[/quote]

So you're a narcissist.[/quote]

Care to elaborate? There is nothing vain or self gratifying from stating that my family name would die with me if my wife didn't want to take my last name. I already expressed that it wasn't an important issue to me...[/quote]
