[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had the opposite problem - didn't change my name. Was amazed at all of the randos who had an opinion on that. I told them to eff off.

As for kids - I'm birthing them, so they will 100% have my last name. DH is ambivalent, so they may or may not share his last name.[/quote]

:shock:

Just don't decide to SAH. I think it's totally hypocritical when SAHM's keep their maiden name. Like they are soooo badass feminist but at the same time fine being totally dependent on their husbands money.[/quote]

So stay at home dads should take their wife's last name. Since they are dependent on their wife's money.[/quote]

I didn't realize that keeping my last name when I got married was a soooo badass feminist position. How exciting! My husband also kept his last name when he got married -- does that make him also a soooo badass feminist?

Also, at varying times, I have been dependent on his income, and he has been dependent on my income. Maybe we should have changed our last names whenever we changed our main source of income? That would be a nuisance.

And then, of course, there's the question of whether I stopped being a feminist when I stopped earning an income, and then started being a feminist again when I started earning an income again. And how about him? How does feminism + income-earning work for him? So confusing![/quote]

There you go, using logic and common sense. Just wait, soon someone will come in and accuse you of being "shrill." [/quote]
