Today, I told my family that I wanted to change my last name to my future wife's. We want to have the same last name, and we chose hers because she is an only child, while I have three brothers. Half of my family is laughing and calling me "pussy whipped" while the other half won't speak to me. FML

It doesn't make you whipped. That's the cutest thing ever.

Ignore all of the haters OP, it takes a real man to dare to challenge gender stereotypes and I have a lot of admiration for you. The whole idea of a women taking her husband's name is a hold-out from the days when it was pretty much a sign of ownership, nowadays most people do it out of tradition; Not that I have any issue with the tradition, but as it doesn't hold the same connotation as it use to, their is no reason a man can't take his wife's name.

It's your life, do what you want. Or don't. It's not up to me.

It's wrong! When god made adam and eve he let Adam choose the nake for her which he decided to be "woman" stated in the book of genesis... Flame on :-)

In this day and age, why are people even concerned with your choice? There's all kinds of options for name-changing after marriage now.

That is the sweetest most thoughtful thing.yall are lucky to have each other and make a cute couple. What a great way to show your love. Best wishes!!!!
