Because I'm a peasant that married into royalty.

Maybe we should just switch to the way the Spanish name kids:

quote:
Spanish naming customs are historical traditions for naming children practised in Spain. According to these customs, a person's name consists of a given name (simple or composite) followed by two family names (surnames). The first surname is usually the father's first surname, and the second the mother's first surname.




Right, but the grand-kids will only have the male grandparents' surnames.

I love the suggestions from people who propose every generation merge the husband's and wife's last names with a hyphen. First generation: two part hyphen ; second generation: four part hyphen ; third generation: eight part hyphenated name....

You ultimately have to choose a single last name for any sort of heredity to be passed on to the next generation.

This should only be allowed legally if the father agrees to it or relinquishes rights because there are women out there that will use this against their spouse when relationships go sour, trying to remove a father from their child's life.

If the courts are going to side in things like custody battles almost carte blanche with the mothers, then this aspect needs to be protected to give the fathers some rights in those situations.

His ancestors doing genealogy in a few generations are going to be a bit confused. At this point, that's really the biggest reason for keeping a uniform naming system.

Don't even care.

It doesn't affect me, they can do what they want.

That's not how it works. Only use the main last name on both sides of the family. This isn't new.

DNA doesn't have a shite about your last name.

There's only one case where i would let the kids take the wife's last name and that's if we were an interracial couple and the kids strongly favored her.

Seeing an asian Dwayne Thibodaux would shock some people.

yes you do

I and my two kids took my wifes last name. It was purely functional/utilitarian. Her last name is easier to spell and easier to pronounce. No one ever fricks up her last name and its a relief not to have to spell-out my last name every, single, time.


you couldn't find a more effeminate answer if you tried

quote:

Plus her full name sounds like a movie stars. Kind of cool. Didnt want to frick that up. Mine sounds awkward.


I was wrong. You found one.

Why would you be insecure about something you don't possess?

quote:

feel the need to prove my importance to the world so Im ok with her last name.


trust me, she doesn't feel a need to prove or believe in your importance either.

It shows the blend of that family unit, but still maintains an easy to follow family line.

Biologically, it is interesting as all male ancestors share the same Y chromosome.

So they let the son keep the mom's name to keep her family name alive. Seems fine to me.
Yeah. There is a practical reason behind it.

I saw this coming back in the 80's when the author of "Oh! Pascal!" purposefully used "she" instead of "he" for the gender neutral pronoun.

There were some Filipino Fontenot kids in my high school. Their dad was in the Air Force, and met their mom while abroad.

this seems like a legit enough reason

Not my responsibility to keep my wife's name going. Her dad should've had more kids.
