What if she had a really cool last name? I wouldn't mind being named John Bigdong over my current last name

I wouldn't. That type of person would most likely be controlling as shite, and I do ok on my own not to have to put up with that for money
Not even if you didn't have to work and could basically pursue whatever hobbies you love all the time?
And your wife is really hot.
Only catch is you have to take her last name?

dude, every married woman I know who cheated on her husband had taken her husbands last name. Like that wedding ban she put on when she said "I do", it didn't stop her from banging another guy.

That wouldn't be the only catch though with the type of woman (and her family) who would put that in a pre-nup, so still no

Knew a guy who came from a trashy family, bad family life, kicked around as a kid, etc. but he was different.
He started working from a young age and his hardworking ways caught the eye of a guy (call him Mr Jones) who decided to hire him, help get him thru college and all that, get a home, etc
He fell in love with a 2nd cousin of his employer (cousin and employer had the same name ((ex: Jones). They were to be married and and he was graduating college the same month.
He took HER last name. He said that he wanted the JONES last name on his diploma because it was the Jones who believed in him and helped him accomplish getting a degree. His own family contributed nothing to him or his college except to mock him and degrade him over it).
He also wanted his children to carry the "Jones" last name as he wanted to be rid of all ties to his old family forever.
He wasn't beta- he just had complete respect for the Jones family and wanted all of his success to be known by the Jones last name.
Props to him!

Probably the same type of fella that doesn't expect his wife to bear his children

If you reproduce with a woman who doesn't have your last name, what last name will you give the child? Would you make a amalgamation of both of your names? Or, would you just let the kid choose his/her last name when they were old enough?

I told my wife it was her decision. She decided to take my name.
Either way...if that's an actually issue in our marriage, I effed up in other ways. The qualities I want in a wife don't revolve around name selection.

It would take my last name for the sake of continuity and to limit confusion. My mom has her own last name and my brother and I have my dad's last name.

I get a lot of push back from this from my friends who say they'd be insulted if their wife didn't take their name but the way I see it is I would never change my name for them so I would never ask/force them to do the same for me and I believe that's fair. If they want to do it then they are free to do so.
You sound like a soy boi.

Is this because your parents are divorced? If not, doesn't that send the wrong message to you as a kid? Like your mom isn't part of the family, because she doesn't share the "family" name?
ETA: It's not about forcing someone to take your name, it's about establishing a family as one, and the name sharing is symbolic of that. IMO, taking the woman's name is better than her not taking yours.

I know of two couples in Dallas who blended their last names into a new one.
For example (this one is made up) Bob Johnson marries Jill Osgood and they become the Johngoods.

Now that is just dumb.

I work with a guy who - along with his wife - took the same hyphenated last name (Hers - His).
They recently divorced after 20-some years, and he's back to just his own last name.
And yes - he's a touchy-feely kind of dude.

No my parents are not divorced. I have a friend who made the same argument "because we're a family" but he has half brothers and sisters and now a different last name from his mom and step father yet they're all still a family.
