Sir, I applaud your courage and conviction. Now, get in there and make a baby! Or at least TRY. They will get over it. She will be grateful. Your father in law owes you.

My family name is probably going to end with me. I'm an only child and none of my uncles and aunts had children. :(

Many do it in the Medical field. However, wouldn't a compromise that meets both party would be to take hyphenated name(both of you)!

Wow. This really wouldn't be such a big deal in Sweden. But good OP, you did the right thing!

It's such a silly and sexist custom yet people are used to it. If a man or a woman wants to change their name or if they want to keep it, who cares? It cracks me up when some guys say that if a girl doesn't take his name, it means she doesn't love him...but if he doesn't take her name if requested, then it's OK. **** sexism.

They're idiots. Go for it, and congratulations to the both of you!

You're not alone. I know a man who had an abusive ****** for a dad and when he was getting married he decided to take his wife's last name to distance himself from the man and start a new family. Fortunately for him, his mother hated her ex husband almost as much as her son, so she fully supported him.

Grr, my phone cut me off and I guess the comment flood thing stopped my correction from being posted. *more of a pussy to me.

Wow never take the girls last name ever!

Yeaaaa u is so pussy whipped man grow a pair and man da **** up.
