re: My brother is taking my name, how much grief should I give him?

The girl takes your name except under very rare exceptions

My wife has kept her maiden name. But that’s because we are both on our second marriage and really weren’t interested in going through the whole name change process. My kids have my name, that’s all that matters. I’m glad that she kept her last name, because it keeps the confusion away because my ex-wife never dropped my last name.
